Oh man, "that milia extraction took me an hour" - I felt that in my bones. I had one right on my lower eyelid that I messed with for like 45 minutes, tiny little pearl that just refused to budge. Finally had to take a break, ice it down, and try again with a fresh sterile lancet. What worked for me was gently stretching the skin super tight and coming at it from a different angle, almost sideways instead of straight on.
