Small bumps on the face are often confusing. Many people think they are milia, but in reality, sebaceous hyperplasia is more common.

Milia
- White, tiny, firm bumps
- Caused by trapped keratin
- Easily removed with extraction
Sebaceous Hyperplasia
- Yellowish, soft bumps
- Multiple lesions
- Often recur after squeezing
Treatment usually requires laser or cauterization.
Epidermal Cyst
- Larger, deeper lump
- Requires surgical removal
- Not treatable by simple extraction
Conclusion
If the lesion looks yellowish, multiple, and refills after extraction,
it is most likely sebaceous hyperplasia rather than milia.
