AB  - A  milium  is  a  white  papule,  1–2  mm  in  size,  composed  of  laminated,  keratinous  material  and  situated  as  a  solid  cyst  in  a  pilosebaceous  follicle.  Milia  are  fairly  common  on  the  brow,  glabella,  and  nose  in  newborn  infants  and  in  such  infants  tend  to  disappear  quickly  and  spontaneously.  There  may  be  few  or  many,  and  they  may  develop  later  in  infancy,  in  childhood,  and  in  adolescence.  In  older  children  and  adolescents,  they  tend  to  persist,  may  precede  acne  or  be  associated  with  incipient  acne  and  commonly  develop  on  or  around  the  eyelids.  Milia  may  be  ablated,  if  desirable,  by  delicate  incision  and  expression  of  the  keratinous  content.  Lesions  so  treated  do  not  recur,  but  if  new  lesions  appear,  they  have  to  be  treated  in  the  same  way.  The  operation  is  trivial  and  uncomplicated.  There  are  no  preventive  measures.
