A milium (plural milia), also called a milk spot or an oil seed, is a clog of the eccrine sweat gland. It is a keratin-filled cyst that can appear just under the epidermis or on the roof of the mouth.
Milia は、小さくて硬い白い隆起として現れる、ケラチンで満たされた良性の一過性の嚢胞です。通常、それらは顔に集中して現れますが、胸の上部、腕、生殖器領域などの他の体の部分にも発生する可能性があります。主に 2 つのタイプがあります。原発性稗粒腫は通常、出生時に存在し、鼻、頭皮、まぶた、頬などの領域に自然発生します。また、特定のまれな遺伝性皮膚疾患が原因で発生することもあります。二次性稗粒腫は、潜在的な皮膚の問題、薬物使用、または皮膚の外傷とともに発生します。 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.
