Milia on my forehead
22 posts, 10 members
Hi ladies. Lately I have been getting heaps of milia but only on my forehead. Does anyone else get this? I steralized a needle and got rid off most as I read it was OK to do that. Wondering what causes them as they are never usually anywhere else on my face. I don't have a fringe so that is not the cause.
I have heard "milia" mentioned in a couple of threads and didn't know what it was so I googled it. It says it occurs when keratin becomes trapped beneath the surface of the skin. It says in most cases it will dissappear on its own in a few months.
Home remedies include:Clean infected area daily with mild non irritant soap, steam open pores, exfoliate area regularly, use sunscreen.
You could also see your doctor about it, they may be able to help.

I would've thought that using a chemical peel regularly and/or a exfoliating toner such as glycolic acid daily would help keep it at bay. I've had lumps under the skin (not milia) removed by a dermatologist before. It wasn't much fun and I think I've had the same effect with long term use of acids. .
Milia is dead skin that the skin can't get rid of by itself. Get yourself a BHA (oil soluble) or an AHA (water soluble) and see if that works for you.
Hikoco stock Cosrx which is earning a good reputation so check out:
BHA Blackhead Power Liquid
AHA 7 Whitehead Power Liquid
or
AHA/BHA Clarifying Liquid
Go easy, don't use them all at once or you'll freak your skin out.

I have milia prone skin around my eye sockets and aside from digging them out with a pin, the only solution was rosehip oil rubbed on at night. I use it every night in that area and they have not returned.
I now only get an occasional milia.
I'd like to remember how long it took for them to go away forever, it might have been a few months.

I also get milia around my eyes! I had a couple of obvious ones for years and years right on my eyes, and I eventually got them removed by a dermatologist. I've tried removing others myself with a needle but can't make it work for me.
These skin imperfections are super annoying, but I often wonder if other people actually notice them, or if us poor ladies are prone to noticing all the icky parts of our bodies. Either way, I will definitely still continue the race for glowing healthy skin!
