Dermal1
Colloid milium is a rare condition characterized by (1) the presence of multiple, dome-shaped, amber- or flesh-colored papules developing on light-exposed skin and (2) the observance of dermal colloid under light microscopy. (medscape.com)
Adult5
The adult form of colloid milium is more common in males. (medscape.com)
Adult colloid milium is more common in elderly patients. (medscape.com)

Occur3
Evidence to support this comes from the exposed site distribution and the tendency for colloid milium to occur in individuals with fair complexions and outdoor occupations. (medscape.com)
These hidradenomas are sharply circumscribed, nodular tumors that usually develop in women's anogenital area (particularly the vulva) but uncommonly occur in other sites in women and men. (wikipedia.org)
They usually arise in cases of severe nodular acne, but can occur in fairly mild cases as well. (dermatologyadvisor.com)

Conjunctival2
To describe a rare case of conjunctival colloid milium. (nih.gov)
The occurrence of conjunctival colloid milium is rare, and we report this case to increase knowledge and management regarding this rare disease and to differentiate it from other diseases such as amyloidosis, lipoid proteinosis, plasmacytoma, and conjunctival lymphoma, which carry a graver prognosis, and have a similar clinical appearance and can be distinguished only on the basis of histopathological characteristics.
