Spent a full 45 minutes trying to get a stubborn milia out before remembering my mentor's trick with a warm compress and a comedone extractor.

What's your go-to method for those super deep, stubborn ones that just won't budge?

Remember my friend who tried to steam her face for like twenty minutes over a pot of boiling water? She went at one with a needle and just made it angry and red. I told her to chill, put a hot washcloth on it while she watched some TV, and try again the next day. It basically came to the surface on its own and popped out with barely any pressure. Sometimes you just have to walk away and let the heat do its thing.

Honestly, my go-to is just to give up and live with a new tiny face friend, which is why I'm taking notes from @wyatt_shah85. The warm compress trick actually works if I can resist poking at it like a crazy person. My lack of patience is my own worst enemy here.
