Draft:Causes of Milia

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Milia on the eyelid can be caused by a variety of factors. One common cause is dead skin cells becoming trapped in the sweat glands near the surface of the skin, leading to small cysts forming. Another possible reason for milia formation is using heavy or occlusive skincare products that could block pores and prevent proper exfoliation.

Additionally, sun damage can contribute to the development of milia on the eyelid as it can thicken the outer layer of skin, making it harder for dead skin cells to shed naturally. Hormonal changes or imbalances may also play a role in triggering milia formation.

Furthermore, certain medical conditions like blistering disorders or genetic predispositions can lead to recurring milia. Rubbing or pulling at the delicate skin around the eyes can also irritate and potentially create milia bumps.
