Mear ynformaasje ― Frysk

Milia binne goedaardige en oergeande cysten fol mei keratine dy't ferskine as lytse, fêste, wite bulten. Se ferskine typysk yn klusters op it gesicht, mar kinne ek foarkomme op oare lichemsdielen lykas de boppeste boarst, earms en genital gebiet. D'r binne twa haadtypen. Primêre milia binne meast oanwêzich by berte, dy't spontaan ferskine op gebieten lykas de noas, hoofdhuid, oogleden en wangen. Se kinne ek foarkomme troch bepaalde seldsume genetyske hûdomstannichheden. Sekundêre milia ûntwikkelje neist ûnderlizzende hûdproblemen, medikaasjegebrûk, of hûdtrauma.
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.
