Yes, milia can be treated permanently with professional extraction or other treatments. To prevent recurrence:

Maintain good skincare habits.

Use sunscreen daily.

Avoid heavy skincare products.

Keep hands away from the area.

Exfoliate regularly.

For milia under the eyes, consider:

Consulting a dermatologist for professional extraction.

Using eye creams with retinol or salicylic acid.

I've been dealing with a hard, painful lump on my hip for a couple of years now. It formed after I got an injection there, and the medicine seems to have just stayed put. It's really uncomfortable and I'm not sure what to do to make it go away or at least reduce the pain. Any advice on what I could try to help with this?

I've been on 30 mg of Accutane for about seven months now and my skin is definitely breaking out less, but I've started getting these painful bumps under my skin that are filled with a clear fluid, kinda like water. They seem to keep popping up on my forehead and chin. Just when one goes away, another one shows up somewhere else. Why is this happening and what can I do to get rid of them?

Hey, I'm a bit concerned and curious about using hair removal cream for my private areas. I'm thinking about trying the Veet men's hair removal cream for my testicles and penis. Is it safe to use for these areas? Also, how long does it usually take for the hair to grow back after using this? If there are any other creams specifically for men that you'd recommend for these sensitive areas, and which are easy to find at medical stores, that would be great to know too.

Yes you can use it ,and regrowth might take approximately 1 week
