Milia keratinaz betetako kiste onberak eta iragankorrak dira, kolpe txiki, irmo eta zuri gisa agertzen direnak. Normalean aurpegian multzotan agertzen dira, baina gorputzeko beste atal batzuetan ere gerta daitezke, adibidez, goiko bularrean, besoak eta genitalen eremuan. Bi mota nagusi daude. Milio primarioak jaiotzean egon ohi dira, eta berez agertzen dira sudurrean, larruazalean, betazalen eta masailetan. Larruazaleko baldintza genetiko arraro batzuengatik ere gerta daitezke. Bigarren mailako miliak azaleko arazoekin, botiken erabilerarekin edo larruazaleko traumatismoekin batera garatzen dira.
Milia (singular: milium) are benign and transient subepidermal keratin cysts that present as small firm white papules in various numbers most commonly distributed on the face, but they can also be present on other anatomical areas such as the upper trunk, extremities, and genital area (prepuce). The classification of milia includes primary and secondary. The vast majority of primary milia accounts for congenital milia that occur spontaneously and are present at birth, mainly over the nose, scalp, eyelids, cheeks, gum border (Bohn nodules), and palate (Epstein pearls). Still, there is another percentage of primary milia that may occur in association with certain rare genodermatoses (inherited genetic skin disorders) in children and adults. Meanwhile, secondary milia manifest in association with underlying skin pathology, medications, or skin trauma.
