Dermatologist Questions Dermapathologist

What is this?

It was just a white dot before and didn’t hurt or anything. Yesterday I noticed it was a little bigger so I tried popping it and nothing came out beside a little blood, now it’s bigger and not white and hurts a little. Not sure what is it I thought it could be milia?

Probably an inflamed Mila
Heat and if your comfortable doing it puncture with a sterile instrument
Follicular cyst with abscess due to squeezing on it.Leave it alone and will likely resolve in 2 weeks.
More than likely a milia.

Typically requires needle or scalpel to open and evacuate
