Any self-respecting woman would trembletreats her skin. She monitors its condition, constantly moisturizes, makes nourishing masks, uses professional scrubs. A modern representative of the fair sex knows how to keep herself in shape, regardless of whether she visits beauty salons or does it all herself. Therefore, she is extremely wary of any, even barely noticeable changes. But, despite modern achievements and innovations in cosmetology, almost every fifth lady at least once in her life has encountered such a problem as whiteheads on the face. Getting rid of them on your own, as you understand, is quite difficult. Both folk and medical methods are used to remove these neoplasms. But are they all really effective? And what should women do who have encountered this problem for the first time?
Milium: what is this?
Milia (popularly called portyanka) - whitedots on the face. They appear as a result of metabolic disorders in the body. The sebaceous glands become clogged and start working much faster. There can be many reasons for this problem today: poor ecology, poor nutrition, sedentary lifestyle, etc. But the result is the same - large whiteheads on the face. The rash manifests itself in different ways. For example, primary milia can appear at any time, it is enough to bask in the sun for half an hour longer or visit a solarium, not use a cream for protection from UV rays, etc. As for secondary ones, they occur after serious diseases, skin inflammation, trauma (bruises, scars and other damage). Now let's figure out what such acne looks like? These are some small white dots on the face (sometimes, however, having a yellowish tint), the size of an ordinary round grain of rice. At the same time, the pimple is quite clearly palpable under the skin when you press on it with your finger. The location is the area around the eyes, the temporal zone, the cheeks. Often, pimples can appear on the nasolabial folds and on the nose itself of girls. Usually there are not many of them, so at first they are not even noticed. Then they increase to 2.5 mm. Only in very rare cases do representatives of the fair sex break out in large amounts. It will not be possible to hide these formations with foundation. And this is good, because otherwise the ladies would not start treatment, but simply mask the defects. Please note: you do not need to squeeze out pimples. Despite the fact that whiteheads are clogged pores from which sebum cannot come out, you should not pick them out with a needle or tweezers. Until the skin is inflamed, there is no danger to your health. This is only a cosmetic defect. But as soon as microbes get there, the rotting process will begin. And then you may even need surgery and serious, long-term and expensive treatment.
Why on the face appear miliums

Otherwise, new formations will continue to constantly appear on the face.
- Wrong skin care
Often girls neglect basichygiene rules: rarely wash their face, do not wash off their makeup at night, use regular soap, touch their skin with dirty hands. In this case, white pimples are the least that awaits such representatives of the fair sex.

And if ladies of a respectable age understand how such experiments can end, then young girls forget about it. In fact, it is better to buy one, but a good thing, than ten that clog pores and do not allow sebum to come out normally.
- Improper diet
Eating fatty, salty, smoked, spicy foodsfood could have led to this problem. Of course, this does not mean that in the future you should eat only bland soups. But it is advisable to either give up such "delicacies" for a while, or diversify your diet. Eat more vegetables and fruits, as well as dishes cooked with steam or in the oven.
- Health problems
If you suddenly start to feelIf white growths appear on the skin of the face, contact not only a dermatologist, but also a gastroenterologist. Since this may be a sign of a serious illness. Perhaps there is something wrong with your gastrointestinal tract. By the way, milia often appear due to a malfunction of the liver.

You cannot get rid of this at home, since you can bring in an infection. And cosmetic products (creams, ointments and tonics) are not able to cope with this. Today, there are many modern methods of how to clear the skin of acne. You can choose one of them, after consulting with a specialist.
- Mechanical method
First, the leather is treated with a specialsolution, then the cosmetologist pierces the formation with a special sterile needle. All the contents are carefully removed, and the wound is disinfected. Many ladies may have a question: why can't you do it yourself? Firstly, you are unlikely to be able to buy a liquid that really kills all the germs. Alcohol and hydrogen peroxide do not always help. Secondly, you do not know where exactly to make a puncture so as not to harm the skin. Otherwise, scars and marks will remain on the face. Did you know, for example, that you can remove no more than 8-10 formations at a time? Otherwise, the treated areas may become inflamed, damaged, which will lead to even more work of the sebaceous glands.
- Electrocoagulation
The principle of processing leather in this way is quite simpleis simple: the formations are exposed to alternating electric current with high frequency. After the treatment, a thin crust will appear on the skin, which, however, disappears quite quickly. But for several days after the procedure, you will have to lubricate your face with an antiseptic.
- Laser coagulation
This is probably the most popular and painlessa way to remove white spots on the face. The only downside is the rather high cost, which not every woman can afford. The full recovery period is two weeks, during which you will have to avoid sunlight and high temperatures, chlorinated water, etc. Whether to consult a cosmetologist or not is, of course, up to you. But only a specialist can advise you on what exactly is best for your skin type. And if you listen to his advice, the appearance of white spots will not bother you in the future. Otherwise, ladies will have to undergo treatment more than once.
