A milium seed, also known as a whitehead or white bump on the face, is a small, hard white nodule that forms under the skin. They are most often seen around the eyes, but can also appear on other areas of the face. These microcysts are filled with keratin, a natural protein found in our skin. Although completely harmless, these tiny white spots can affect the skin’s appearance. They are not painful but can create an uneven texture. For individuals looking for safe and effective milia removal, a professional evaluation ensures optimal aesthetic results without irritation or scarring.

Milium seeds and whiteheads develop when dead skin cells fail to shed properly and become trapped beneath the surface, forming small white bumps. Several factors can promote the appearance of milium seeds:
In short, a milium cyst or seed is not only a cosmetic concern—it’s also a sign that your skin may need support through a more suitable skincare routine. Early consultation for milia removal can help prevent further buildup and maintain smooth, healthy skin.

The treatment we most recommend for eliminating milium cysts is electrocoagulation. This gentle, non-invasive technique uses a very fine heated needle to target and remove the cyst without damaging the surrounding skin. The result is a fast, precise, and lasting treatment with minimal risk of scarring. It is especially effective for patients seeking milia under eye treatments or facial milia removal treatments, where precision and skin safety are crucial.
To enhance treatment results and prevent new white spots on the skin, we recommend:
With a gentle approach, adult milium seeds can be treated effectively and safely, without irritating the skin. Patients who undergo milia removal often report smoother texture and improved radiance in treated areas, particularly around delicate regions like the eyes.

A facial milium seed can disappear spontaneously, especially in individuals with strong natural skin regeneration. However, this process can take several months—or longer—depending on the person. A milium seed, that small white bump caused by keratin trapped under the skin, may persist if no treatment is applied. Although harmless, it can disrupt the harmony of the face. For those seeking smoother and more even-looking skin more quickly, consulting a professional specializing in milia removal is recommended. In a professional’s office or medical aesthetic clinic, milium extractions are performed to remove these white bumps safely, minimizing the risk of scarring or irritation.
Preventing milium seeds and reducing the appearance of white bumps relies on adopting an appropriate skincare routine. It’s essential to use lightweight, non-comedogenic products to avoid keratin buildup beneath the skin—the primary cause of milium formation. Protecting your skin from UV rays with a suitable sunscreen also helps prevent white spots. Gentle yet regular cleansing helps remove impurities and maintain a healthy skin barrier. These simple steps are key to avoiding whiteheads and keeping your skin clear. For optimal results, consult a professional in milia removal if necessary.
The skin around the eyes is particularly thin and delicate, making it more prone to milium seed formation due to its fine structure, which favors keratin accumulation and the development of tiny white bumps that are difficult to remove without professional help. Applying overly rich creams that are unsuitable for this sensitive area can also trigger white bumps on the face. Milium seeds on the eyelids require special care to avoid damaging such thin skin. A proper milia under-eye treatment performed by a professional ensures safe removal while preserving the youthfulness of the eye area.
