OIL SEED

A milium cyst or milia (oil seeds) is a small, white bump that typically appears on the nose and  upper cheeks. These cysts are often found in groups. Milia occur when keratin becomes trapped beneath the surface of the skin due to ageing and sun damage.

Milia are small, dome-shaped bumps that are usually white or yellow. They are usually not itchy or painful. However, they may cause discomfort for some people.
