Milia ni uvimbe usio na nguvu na wa muda mfupi uliojaa keratini, unaoonekana kama matuta madogo, thabiti, meupe. Kwa kawaida huonekana kwenye makunjo usoni, lakini pia yanaweza kutokea katika sehemu nyingine za mwili kama vile sehemu ya juu ya kifua, mikono, na sehemu ya siri. Kuna aina mbili kuu. Milia ya msingi kwa kawaida hupatikana tangu uzazi, ikijitokeza yenyewe kwenye maeneo kama pua, ngozi ya kichwa, kope, na mashavu. Pia inaweza kutokea kutokana na hali fulani za ngozi za maumbile. Milia ya pili hukua pamoja na matatizo ya msingi ya ngozi, matumizi ya dawa, au majeraha ya ngozi.
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.
