A benign, keratin-filled cyst that appears around the eyes, cheeks, and forehead is known as:

Acne
Milia
Psoriasis
Rosacea

The correct answer is: Acne

A. Acne is a skin condition that causes pimples and blackheads, typically on the face, chest, and back. Unlike acne, milia are small, dome-shaped bumps that are often found around the eyes, cheeks, and forehead. They are caused by trapped keratin under the skin. B. CORRECT - Milia is the correct answer. This is a common and harmless condition caused by keratin becoming trapped under the skin. It is often seen in newborns but can also appear in adults. Milia are commonly found around the eyes, cheeks, and forehead. C. Psoriasis is a chronic autoimmune condition that causes cells to build up rapidly on the surface of the skin, leading to thick, silvery scales and itchy, dry patches. It most commonly appears on the elbows, knees, scalp, and lower back. D. Rosacea is a long-term skin condition that causes redness, visible blood vessels, and bumps on the face. It typically affects the cheeks, forehead, chin, and nose. Unlike rosacea, milia is not associated with redness or visible blood vessels on the skin.
