Glossary of Terms

Milia
Small whitish nodules on the skin usually of the face. Milia represent retention cysts of sebaceous gland secretions. They appear on the face of newborns and go away without treatment.
This is Children's Glossary of Medical Terms - and much more. You'll find the basic definitions and, for many medical subjects, a larger medical context written by an experienced Children's pediatrician. All the definitions are in an easy-to-print format.
