How is Milia Diagnosed?

What are the Treatment Options for Milia?
The following are some of the treatments that are performed routinely for milia in our clinic:
Deroofing:
Deroofing is a procedure in which the specialist will use a scalpel in order to exercise off the milia spots. The treatment is done with precision skills and accuracy so in some cases the flared up skin is very gently removed ensuring that the superficial layer is removed and the remaining part is intact.
Curettage:
It is one of the most commonly performed procedures. It is done by surrounding the milia spots with a copper wire which is heated. This hot wire is then set to remove the spots or any skin tags.
Cryotherapy:
Cryotherapy is basically done by the use of liquid nitrogen. The liquid nitrogen is supposed to freeze up the surfaced spots such as milia then the freezing occurs. A big ulcer is formed that is then easily pulled off and disappears within a couple of days.
How is the Treatment of Milia Performed?
The treatment for milia performed by the surgeries and methods are mentioned above. The surgeon will first analyze the area and will look closely whether any underlying structure is associated with the spots or not.
