What are some precautionary measures that I can take to avoid developing milia seeds on my face?

Doctor's Answer

Hi,

Some useful tips to reduce milia formation on the face include:

1. Avoid excessive UV exposure

2. Cleanse the skin daily or twice daily using a mild cleanser

3. Avoid use of thick and greasy make-up or rich facial moisturizers

4. Apply a topical retinoid (e.g. tretinoin or adapalene prescription cream ) at night to facilitate skin renewal.

5. Regular superficial chemical peeling to rejuvenate the skin

6. Avoid scratching or injuring the skin.

Hope this helps!
