Apple Cider Vinegar

I've thrilled to report I used apple cider vinegar to remove a big milia! (It looked like a big white, pus-filled pimple.) Every night, I took a tiny piece of a cotton ball, soaked it in ACV, placed it on the milia and held it place with a bandaid. Did this for about ten days. It's GONE! No surgery required. (Even after surgically removing a milia, it can return.) I guess I'll just have to wait and see if this one does. If so, I'll be ready!

I have had a small milia on my right eye for about 6 months. I have been putting Castor Oil on it, and it is gone. I put the Castor Oil on it with the intent that the Milia goes away, and viola! It went away! It took a long time, about 6 months, but no medicine and no Doctor!

Thank you for sharing but milias can disappear in 6months on its own. I get a lot around my nose & cheeks. The best way is to use an aseptic disposable needle used by diabetic to open the surface up. Cleanse first before!!! It will hurt and the milia may need to be pushed out by a comedown extractor. Apply an antimicrobial agent like Bactine (no sting) to reduce infection & scarring. You may want a professional facial to get this done so you don't end up with scars. I've been doing my own and no scar. If it doesn't want to come out, leave it alone before you bruise your face and it will pop out in a couple of days.
