Milium – http://id.who.int/icd/entity/1924428447

A milium is a small 1-2 mm diameter subepidermal cyst which typically presents as multiple white papules (milia or, in the neonate, milk spots) most commonly on the upper cheeks and eyelids and thought to be due to immaturity, blockage or disruption of the superficial portion of the sweat duct (acrosyringium).
