Milia

There are also places in Greece that have the name Milia, an alternative spelling of Milea

Milia, also known as milk spots, are benign, keratin-filled cysts that can appear just under the epidermis or on the roof of the mouth. They are commonly associated with newborn babies but can appear on people of all ages. They are usually found around the nose and eyes.

In children milia often disappears within two to four weeks. In adults it may require removal by a physician.
