There are a lot of factors that can cause milia seeds but the common ones are due to poor sun protection, lack of exfoliation, excessive use of soaps and cleansers, environmental pollutants, using creams that are too rich for your skin, hormonal change or damage to skin glands.

Milia seeds can be removed by a dermatologist using extraction. This involves making a small incision in the skin and removing the cysts. Extraction is the most common method, but there are other options available.
