Diving into the World of Milia: Your Top 5 Guide to Understanding and Overcoming these Tiny Bumps

Types of Milia

There are four types of milia: neonatal, primary, secondary, and multiple eruptive. Neonatal milia occur in newborns and usually clear up on their own. Primary milia, common in children and adults, appear without any evident cause. Secondary milia develop after skin trauma or damage. Multiple Eruptive Milia presents as clusters of milia that form over time. Identifying the type helps in better managing and treating them, so a consultation with a dermatologist is recommended if you detect any changes or are unsure about the type of milia you have.
