12 Common Causes of Milia

Burns

First-degree burns are one of the most common causes of skin damage, which is associated with milia. They would trigger peeling, inflammation, and redness that affect the skin’s ability to remove dead cells. Second-degree burns would create blisters and look very red. In more severe cases like third-degree burns, the risk can be even higher. They would have a leathery texture and look dark brown or white. Always place the affected area under cool water after being burned. After that, it is important to seek immediate medical attention. Antibiotic ointments are often the first-line treatment. It takes around 1 to 2 weeks for the burns to heal. [3]
