Facial problem: whiteheads? or milium / milia? what can i do to get rid of them?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Extractions: Extractions are often the best way to remove milia and whiteheads. These can be performed by a dermatologist or often an esthetician. I do not recommend picking or popping them yourself as that can damage your skin. Also a retinoid product can often help with whiteheads.
