Cool article! I love the DermaDoctor site, always lots of great info, a huge selection of products, and people review them like they do on here. They give lots of free samples with your order too.

Karrieann, good job

and I'm glad you didn't give up... Did you use an organic brand acv or a regular one sold in grocery store?

the first day all i noticed was that my skin seemed to be red where i had applied the acv. the next day i did the acv again. the area continued to be red and sort of scabbed. i couldn't really tell what was happening with the milia. instead of being white it too was red. so today i used my fingernail to sort of scrape the skin away. i thought i would do this to help the ex foliation and then reapply acv. well, when i scratched at the flaky skin that darn thing came right out!!!!! oh i am so happy! my skin is still a bit red there but it will be gone in a day or two.

thank you kim for that great advice! who knew how powerful apple cider vinegar could be. and that should be a word of caution...apple cider is very strong on your skin!! do not rub your skin with it. it will remove it. i used it full strength, you may want to dilute...

thanks again kim!!!!

In fact this morning I had a little pimple on my chin so I dabbed a bit on with a Q-tip and now...it's gone! Amazing

Good luck. I hope that it works for you Lilla. Just please be gentle on your skin with it. It is quite powerful and can burn your skin. I used it prior to the milia incident just as a toner type thing. I kind of rubbed my face with it full strength on a cotton pad. Bad idea. Burned my skin. So you may want to dilute it or start with a small area just to see how your skin reacts to it.

Let me know how it goes!

Thanks, I sure will.

hi all, reposting this here as i was told it would benefit more people. just want to share this good discovery i made for clearing milia. i used a product called naturalis milia treatment , see www.organiconline.com.sg or www.naturalisproducts.com and managed to get rid of those irritating milia beads after the third night of application. it beats having to go for surgery as those can cause scarring. anyone else can share other good products?

do you think an aesthetician could help? everything i have found says to see a dermatologist. is this my only option, other than living with an yucky eye goob. yuck. i will go see my dr if that is my only recourse
