Miniature epidermal inclusion cysts that originate from the
pilosebaceous apparatus of vellus hair and appear as tiny pearly
papules mainly located on cheeks, chin and forehead. Lesions
usually appear and disappear spontaneously during the first
month, but they may also occur in older children and young
adults. Milia are also seen at the sites of healed bullae in
dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa, in porphyria cutanea tarda,
bullous lichen planus, and in second degree burns. Milia are
seen in 40 to 50 per cent of infants. MILIA, Milium, Milium cyst
