What are milia?

Closed comedos
Dilated capillaries at the skin surface
Pearly white enclosed cysts
A severe form of rosacea

The correct answer is: Pearly white enclosed cysts

Milia are small, pearly white bumps that are typically found on the skin of newborn babies, but can also occur in adults. They are formed when keratin, a protein found in the skin, gets trapped under the surface of the skin and forms a cyst. This is why the correct answer is C, pearly white enclosed cysts. Option A, closed comedos, are similar to milia but are a type of acne caused by clogged hair follicles. Option B, dilated capillaries at the skin surface, refer to a condition called telangiectasia, which involves the dilation of small blood vessels and is not related to milia. Option D, a severe form of rosacea, is an inflammatory skin condition that is associated with redness and acne-like bumps, but it is not the same as milia.
