Don’t pick, squeeze, or puncture milia
Wash your face gently twice daily with a mild cleanser
Use a moisturizer suited for your skin type
Apply a retinoid at night (adapalene 0.1% or tretinoin if prescribed)
Use gentle exfoliation a few times per week if your skin tolerates it (salicylic acid or lactic acid)
Consider a keratolytic product such as urea or glycolic acid (patch test first)
Use sunscreen daily (SPF 30+) to reduce irritation and help prevent new bumps
Avoid heavy occlusive products if they worsen your milia
If milia persist, worsen, or appear frequently, see a dermatologist for removal (extraction)
Ask about professional treatments such as gentle extraction or targeted procedures if needed
