Milia are small pus or fluid filled boils that appear on the face. They normally inhabit the area on the forehead. This skin rashes affects other parts of the face as well. The cheeks, nose and the area around the eyes are other common spots that it would attack.

This condition is common in children. It occurs when the face is not exfoliated; sweat and oil collect under the skin and within the pores and cause this condition. In order to prevent this basic hygiene is important. Milia does not cause any pain or itching neither does it leave any scars; however you must prevent the spread of this condition in order to prevent a damage to the complexion. Milia also occurs on area of the skin where there has been some damage by heat, blistering, sun or wounds.

There are some cases where you do not need any treatment to get rid of the skin condition and it takes care of itself and clears out within a few days. If you notice that the skin shows does not clear up or there is no improvement in the skin condition then you must work to get rid of the infection. Start with cleaning the area with a mild anti septic soap and washing the skin well. You must also use a gentle exfoliater in order to give the skin a deep cleaning.

Witch hazel and almond scrubs are the best and safest products to use on infected skin; they clean the surface of the skin and nourish the skin at the same time. Do not try to remove the Milia by steaming your face or using any foreign objects to clear the skin; this will increase the infection and spread it further into the skin.

If cleaning your skin does not suffice and you still suffer from the infection then you must visit a dermatologist in order to get rid of the infection. With the assistance of an extraction tool the dermatologist will be able to extract the infection from the skin and clear it up.
