Milia in Adults: Can They Disappear Naturally?

While some milia may eventually disappear on their own, in general, milia in adults tend to persist and do not typically go away without intervention. While using heavy creams and exfoliating properly can help improve the appearance of the skin and potentially help prevent future milia from forming, they are unlikely to be effective in removing existing milia. Milia removal typically requires professional extraction by a dermatologist or esthetician.
