What to do if i have a milia, how do i get rid of it?

Time: Milia occur when a substance from the skin (keratin) gets trapped under the outermost layer of skin, forming a cyst. Milia can also occur when other debris or damage clogs the pores in the skin. The good news is that milia are harmless, and will eventually go away in a few weeks. If they do not, you should not try to remove them yourself, as you can permanently damage your skin - see your doctor.
