2. Juvenile Milia
- Juvenile milia are associated with rare genetic disorders, such as Nevoid Basal Cell Carcinoma Syndrome (NBCCS), Pachyonychia Congenita, Gardner’s Syndrome, and Bazex-Dupré-Christol Syndrome.
- These cysts may persist longer or appear in unusual locations due to the underlying genetic conditions.
3. Milia en Plaque
- A rarer form of milia, milia en plaque, typically occurs on the eyelids, ears, cheeks, or jawline.
- This type is often linked to autoimmune skin conditions like discoid lupus erythematosus or lichen planus.
- While more common in middle-aged women, it can occur in anyone, regardless of age or gender.
4. Secondary Milia
- This type develops following skin trauma, such as burns, rashes, or prolonged sun exposure.
- Secondary milia can also result from the use of heavy skincare products that clog pores.
- These cysts may take weeks or months to disappear.
Diagnosis of Milia
Milia are easy to identify visually, and a dermatologist can typically diagnose them without invasive testing. In rare cases, a skin biopsy may be performed to rule out other skin conditions or confirm the diagnosis. If you notice persistent white bumps that resemble milia, consult a dermatologist to confirm the condition and explore treatment options if needed.
