Milia are harmless, keratin-filled cysts. For topical treatment near the sensitive eye area, low-strength over-the-counter retinol or prescription retinoids (such as tretinoin) can help by promoting skin cell turnover, though results take time. The fastest and most effective option is professional removal by a dermatologist using simple sterile extraction, cryotherapy, or laser therapy. Because this is considered a cosmetic procedure, it is typically not covered by insurance. The average cost for professional removal ranges from $75 to $200 per session, depending on your location and the number of bumps. Please avoid squeezing or popping them at home to prevent infection or scarring.
