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.
Milia are small (1 or 2 mm), round white bumps that usually happen on the head and neck. These are common in infants and in adults. In adults, they are often a sign of chronic sun damage. Milia can spontaneously rupture, drain, and resolve on their own, but this make up to 2 years.
