How are milia typically treated?

Question

Hello doctor,

I got Milia two months back near my nose, which I accidentally scratched and it became a watery bump later. I took some tablets to heal it and it eventually disappeared. Recently, I got a few milia near my lips and I think it is getting worse and becoming red.

Thank you.
