A dermatologist can safely remove milia by:
Lancing and extracting – using a sterile needle to open the bump and remove the contents.
Cryotherapy – freezing the bump to remove it.
Laser treatment – used for stubborn or widespread milia.
These procedures are quick, relatively painless, and highly effective.
