Those teeny tiny bumps under your skin that won’t pop like a normal pimple? Probably milia. 🔍 Milia are small cysts that sit just under the epidermis, packed with trapped dead skin and keratin — different from classic acne (no blackheads/whiteheads here), but treatment overlaps, especially retinoids. Fair warning: give it a few months before you see real improvement. What actually works: ✅ Salicylic acid cleanser (Cetaphil Gentle Exfoliating SA Cleanser) ✅ Adapalene 0.1% gel (Differin Gel, La Roche-Posay Effaclar) ✅ Prescription tretinoin (this one needs your dermatologist) Hope this helps — enjoy your weekend 😎🤙 #drsugaiskincare stitch @kara! #tretinoin #milia #miliaremoval #cystextraction
