Abstract

Milia are minute follicular epidermal cysts, commonly found over the cheeks, nose, upper lip, forehead, and rarely over the areolae and genitalia. Prepucial milia (Prepucial Epstein pearl), are pearly white papules, 1-2mm in size found on the prepuce or shaft of the penis in a male new born. They are benign in nature and almost always disappear within a few weeks. Prepucial milia evoke a lot of concern and anxiety to the parents. Physician and child healthcare providers should be aware of this condition to avoid unnecessary intervention.
