What Is a Milium Cyst? A milium cyst is little, white bump that normally appears on the nose and cheeks. These cysts are typically discovered in groups, and in these cases are called milia. The cysts take place when keratin ends up being trapped beneath the surface of the skin. Keratin is a strong protein that is generally discovered in skin tissues, hair, and nail cells.
Types of Cysts Milia are a very small type of cyst that primarily occur on the face and are often confused as whiteheads Epidermoid cysts, sometimes called Sebaceous cysts, are the most common type of cyst that occur nearly anywhere on the body. They are soft, mobile, and ofter have a dilated central pore. They can range in size from 1/2 inch to several inches. Pilar cysts are a firm, rubbery type of cyst that occurs primarily on the scalp.
