I'm wondering if the small bumps I can feel on my cheek are milia.

I sometimes feel very small granules when I touch the skin around my cheeks, and I am wondering if this condition is definitely milia. It is not noticeably red or painful, but it bothers me because the skin surface is not smooth, and the fine bumps seem to stand out even more under bright lighting. Since there is no visible white pus like with typical acne, it is difficult to choose a management method.

I’ve heard that dead skin cell buildup or lack of moisture can look similar, but how can I distinguish between actual comedones and simple skin texture issues? I would prefer to avoid checking by touching or squeezing my skin, as it seems like it might be irritating.

I am wondering if it is appropriate to post this on the acne skincare forum, and if it is possible to determine first through a consultation whether extraction is necessary. Depending on my skin condition, could other treatments be more suitable than extraction? Rather than starting a harsh procedure just because of minor bumps, I would like to know the exact cause and manage the condition accordingly.
