What's usually recommended for getting rid of milia without needles?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
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. Picking at them with a needle can leave a scar. If you really need them removed urgently, i would recommend a visit to the doctor.
