Milia su dobroćudne i prolazne ciste ispunjene keratinom koje izgledaju kao male, čvrste, bijele kvržice. Obično se pojavljuju u skupinama na licu, ali mogu se pojaviti i na drugim dijelovima tijela, poput gornjeg dijela prsa, ruku i genitalnog područja. Postoje dvije glavne vrste. Primarne milije obično su prisutne pri rođenju i pojavljuju se spontano na područjima poput nosa, vlasišta, kapaka i obraza. Također se mogu pojaviti zbog određenih rijetkih genetskih stanja kože. Sekundarne milije razvijaju se uz probleme s kožom, korištenje lijekova ili traumu kože.
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.
