WHAT
What are Milia and Syringomas?
Milia are small white or yellowish cysts that form when keratin becomes trapped beneath the skin’s surface.
They commonly appear around the eyes, cheeks, or forehead. They are harmless but may cause cosmetic concerns.
Syringomas are benign tumors that arise from sweat glands, usually appearing as small yellowish papules around the eyes.
They do not grow significantly but are often removed for cosmetic reasons.
