I've recently noticed some white patches near my anus. There's itching, but no pain associated with it. This has never happened to me before, and it started appearing about a month ago. I'm a bit worried about what it might be and what I should do. Could you provide some insight or advice on this?

I noticed some milia on my eyelid a couple of months back and didn't really think much of it because I heard they're not harmful. But a few friends suggested I should see a dermatologist about it. I'm really curious about what kind of treatments are available and how much they might cost. Can you give me some advice on this?

Treatment for milia usually involves extraction by a dermatologist. They may use a sterile needle or a comedone extractor to remove the milia. In some cases, a topical retinoid cream like Retin-A may be prescribed to help prevent new milia from forming. The cost of treatment can vary depending on the dermatologist and your location
