Milia in teens: Many teens experience skin changes during puberty, not all acne. Milia are small white bumps found on cheeks and around eyes. Unlike acne, they’re not clogged follicles but skin cells that don’t shed properly becoming trapped in a pocket on the skin. They are generally benign but can be difficult to remove at home risking scarring. If painful or bothersome, they should be evaluated by a physician.
