Question

I'm trying to understand the difference between milia and molluscum. Can you explain this in detail? Also, do these conditions go away on their own, or do they need some kind of treatment? I'm really curious because I just noticed some small bumps on my skin and I'm not sure what they are or if I should be worried.
