Cyst types in milia are categorized according to the age at which they arise or the cause of their development [1].
In newborns, milia develops and then goes away after a few weeks. Typical locations for cysts on the body include the upper chest, scalp, and face [2]. About 40% of infants are born with milia, says the Seattle Children's Hospital [3].

Juvenile milia may be caused by rare genetic illnesses such Nevoid basal cell carcinoma syndrome (NBCCS), Pachyonychia congenita, Gardner's syndrome, or Bazex-Dupré-Christol syndrome [2].

Eyelid, ear, cheek, or jaw milia is a common skin condition that may develop in people with discoid lupus or lichen planus, both of which are autoimmune skin conditions. Although it most often affects middle-aged women, it may affect anyone of either sex at any age [1].
Adults and older children often exhibit this kind of milia. On the genitalia, around the eyes, or on the forehead, you could find a cyst. It might linger for a few weeks or even months before going away[1].

In rare cases, milia may appear on the skin at the site of another skin lesion, such a sunburn or rash. Inflamed cysts may change color from white in the core to crimson around the periphery [1].
Because milia are so obvious, a dermatologist can tell whether you have them just by looking at the cysts. Rare instances warrant the use of skin lesion biopsies [2]. Consult a medical professional to determine the diagnosis of milia and, if desired, to begin treatment if you notice similar little white spots on your skin.
Treatment and Elimination of Milia

There is no need to remove or treat milia in infants since the bumps often go away on their own within a few weeks.
Even in older children and adults, milia goes away on its own, but some may want to have it treated if it causes them pain. Here are some common practices:
As part of cryotherapy, the milia is frozen using liquid nitrogen. It's the standard procedure for removing it.
The process of deroofing involves extracting the cyst's contents using a sterile needle. This approach is often used to treat milia.
Retinoids used topically are a kind of skin exfoliant that contains vitamin A.
The process of a chemical peel involves removing the outermost layer of skin, revealing the dermal layer underneath.
