Understanding Different Types of Milia

There are different types of milia that can occur. Primary milia are the most common and typically develop in infants and adults. Secondary milia, on the other hand, can occur as a result of another skin condition, such as burns or blistering disorders. Milia can also be categorized based on their location. Facial milia are commonly seen around the eyes and cheeks, while milia en plaque refers to a group of milia that form a raised patch of bumps. Multiple eruptive milia are characterized by clusters of milia appearing in a short period of time. It is important to understand the specific type of milia in order to determine the most appropriate treatment.
