Skin problems?
Kali asked:
I am having serious skin problems - I have these tiny zits on my face, which I was told are called milium, enlarged pores, and my skin is dry. I have started microdermabrasion treatments, but I’m not sure that only this will solve my problems. I think maybe I should combine this with some other treatments for better result, I just don’t know which one’s? Any advice?
p.s. it would be really helpful if someone who is a dermatologist could answer this question
tnx

The key to getting rid of milia is realizing that they have no escape route, those little bumps are trapped under the skin. So, to get them out, you’ll need to have a professional like a dermatologist or aesthetician extract them. You can extract the milia yourself, but this involves risks.
Precautions You need to ensure that you milia are not symptoms of some underlying disease or illness. Also, if you extract the milia yourself, you may have trouble completely pulling out the cysts, as the removable process may prove too painful.
Otherwise, if you are confident with your health and courage, you can cleanse your hands and face. Then wet a cloth with warm water and apply it to your face for a few minutes. Gently apply a sterile needle to the center of the little white bump to create a tiny opening in the skin.
Wrap your thumbs in a clean tissue and, using your thumbs, proceed to gently squeeze the contents of the little white bump out. Finally, cleanse the area of the extracted little white bump with an astringent.
Now, you have no reason to walk around with little white bumps on your face. If you still think you do, please consider the possibility that you’re just telling yourself little white bumpy lies.
I have been using Proactive for more than a year now and it works really great on me. Consult to a doctor so he can see your actual skin because people have diffrent skin types.
The best treatment that I know of is the Key Relief Skin Repair or the Blemish Cream by Jeune Peau. It helps s-cysts and acne by raising them to the top where they heal, and sometimes healing from the inside and they just get smaller and go away. It’s worth reading about, and that’s what I would try. jeunepeau.com
