I have small, bumpy spots on my cheeks. Are they milia?

I have areas on the inner part of my cheeks that look rough and granular, so I am wondering what kind of treatment I should receive. It is not severe acne that is red or inflamed, but when viewed up close, the surface of the skin looks finely bumpy. At first, I thought it was just dead skin cells, but I was told it could be sebum or comedones, so it is difficult to tell the difference.

This seems to stand out even more, especially on days when my skin is dry, so I'm not sure if I should exfoliate or if it would be better to focus on hydration first. I'm worried that if I try to remove it at home without proper preparation, I might end up with red marks.

Should I get a consultation regarding acne skin care for this condition as well?

I would like to know if you can distinguish between areas that require extraction and those that do not after examining my skin condition. If it is indeed milia, I would also like to know the appropriate interval for treatment. Rather than removing everything at once, I would like to gradually refine my skin texture within a range that does not irritate it.
