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.
