I removed the milia!!

Since when, a milia with a single white grain that catches my attention has appeared under my eyes.

I tried to poke and squeeze it myself at home with a needle, but it was painful and scary, so I failed.

My husband said he would do it, but I was more scared of that, so I decided to just go to the hospital and do it.

The hospital I went to for my liver was 10,000 won for the procedure fee, and they carefully applied anesthetic ointment, applying it once more.

It was possible to remove it without any pain.

 

After removing the milia, it is recommended to keep a Medifoam or similar tape applied for a week.

They said that after some time, it might come back slightly, and you might need to remove it once more at that time.

This is before and one week after the removal of milia.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Milia are classified into primary and secondary types depending on their cause. Primary milia occur naturally and are commonly found on the face, especially on the cheeks and eyelids, and can occur at any age. Secondary milia have the same appearance as primary but mainly develop on skin that has been damaged. There is no difference in the incidence rate between males and females, and they are primarily treated for cosmetic reasons as benign skin tumors. They may appear similar to water warts or other skin conditions externally.

 

 

I was fortunate to have only one milia, but over time it grew larger and even with makeup, I didn't like how it looked. For those with milia, I think it's best to get early treatment before it gets bigger. It was completely painless and the procedure was quick.
