In children, no treatment is needed. In adults, milia may be removed by a physician for cosmetic improvement.

In children, the lesions disappear spontaneously without treatment and without any residual defect. In adults, milia can usually be removed without scarring.

There are usually no complications.

If you are concerned about milia, discuss it with your health care provider.
