A member asked:

Apart from laser treatments, can we cure milia with medication?

Dr. Anifat Balogun answered

Specializes in ENT and Head and Neck Surgery

Laser not first : Milia typically resolve spontaneously with gentle skin care. In adults, milia can typically be treated with extractions or with a device called a hyfrecator. Please see a specialist who can discuss your options with you.
