Milium
* Milia are a feature of a number of very rare genodermatoses
  - asymptomatic lesions commonly seen in on the face of newborn infants
  - many in number and occur equally on both sides of the face
  - minute superficial keratinous cysts, usually on the face or scrotum
  - small spherical opaque white bumps
  - tiny epidermoid cysts
  - cysts along the nasal groove in a child
  - generally disappears after the first several weeks of life
  - occur commonly on both men and women and are often mistaken for tiny whiteheads
  - represent retention cysts of sebaceous gland secretions
* are plants.

Plantar wart
* are warts.
* can be common in people who sweat heavily and who do a lot of walking or exercising
  - painful
  - very painful when weight bearing

Point defect
* Most point defects are caused by radiation damage.
* are at the heart of many other photonic crystal devices, such as channel drop filters.
* are caused by damage
* dominate many of the most important properties of insulators.

Smear
* are defamation
  - insults, as opposed to arguments
* shows anisocytosis, poikilocytosis, basophilic stippling, hypersegmentation of neutrophils.
* usually look for the early changes of cervical cancer.

Pap smear
* are a proven lifesaver, helping to spot cervical cancer when it's still treatable
  - screening test for cervical cancer
  - also useful for detecting some types of cervical or vaginal infections
  - an important measure in helping to prevent cervical cancer
  - medical tests
  - necessary so that the cervix can be examined for abnormal cell growth
  - one of the most effective methods of cancer prevention for women
  - tests that detect cancer and precancerous cell changes in the cervix
* are the most important tests for follow up to be sure the disease has been fully treated
  - primary screening tool for cervical cancer or pre-cancerous conditions
* can also detect herpes, human papilloma virus infections, and cervical dysplasia
  - be abnormal if the cervix is inflamed or irritated
* can detect abnormal cells or warts in the vagina
  - abnormalities before they develop into cancer
* can detect precancerous and cancerous conditions
  - changes in the cervix at an early stage
  - the first signs of cervical cancer, often in time to cure
  - identify early signs of cell abnormalities and precancerous conditions
* detect abnormal cells present on the surface of the cervix
  - changes in the cervix that can be precursors to cancer
* shows abnormal cells, dysplasia, or cervical cancer.

Venereal wart
* affect men and woman and are easily transmitted through sexual contact.
* are due to a virus
  - warts which occur in the genital or anal region of the male or female
* can appear as bumps on the genitals or rectum or they can be invisible
  - grow in the mouth, throat, anus, genitalia and perineum

### imperfection | defect:

Whitehead
* are a little deeper under the skin and blackheads are a little closer to the surface
  - birds
  - blemishs
  - closed pores that are clogged
  - keratin plugs, which close the gland opening
  - more numerous on edges of fields, edges adjacent to levees, and in barrow ditches
  - part of skin
  - simply plugs of dead cells that have grown over a pore opening
  - small bumps with closed centers and are the same color as the surrounding skin
  - small, closed white bumps that emerge when a follicle clogs and swells
  - spots that bulge under the skin and have no opening
  - the beginnings of pimples, or zits
* can form for similar reasons as blackheads - hormones, genetics, and heavy creams.
* usually appear on the skin surface as small, whitish bumps.

Flaw
* are imperfections
  - situations
  - the diferentiating factor between humans and all creation
* can still form, but their growth is stopped by the subsurface barrier of potassium ions.
* lead to incidents.
