Is this milia? Can I treat it with microdermabrasion? (Photo)

February 14, 2020
Asked By:Original295963 in Avon, CO

Recently popped up on my face out of no where, and doesn’t seem like anything i’m using works. My face is usually extremely dry. Was planning on getting a microdermabrasion facial, but I’m not sure if that’s what I need or what I do need to get rid of it. It is mainly on my chin, and lower cheek area. Isn’t painful, but can sometimes itch
