Questions, Answers, and Information Directly from Dr. Ariel Ostad

Sourced directly from Dr. Ariel Ostad's social posts and replies.

What are milia?
Milia are small, white bumps on the face, also referred to as milk spots. They can appear on the forehead, cheeks, nose, chin, and near the eyelids. Milia occurs when dead skin cells and natural oils become trapped in the skin’s pores. Genetics, improper skin exfoliation, and excessive sun exposure can also cause milia. Makeup and/or skincare products that are not suitable for their skin type can also cause milia. People with normal to oily skin are more prone to milia from skincare products, which can block pores, leading to keratin bumps under the skin. Preventing milia involves proper skincare, including regular exfoliation (2-3x a week) and choosing non-comedogenic and suitable cosmetic products for your skin type. If you have milia, change your skincare routine.

Industry Payments

Federal law (the Physician Payments Sunshine Act) requires drug and medical-device companies to report anything of value they give to a physician — consulting and speaking fees, research funding, travel, royalties, and even meals. Medicare publishes all of it in a public database called Open Payments. We show it here so you don't have to go looking for it.

Total received (2024)

$923

Payments

28

Compared to peers

Modest

Dr. Ariel Ostad received $923 across 28 payments in 2024. That is higher than about 56% of the physicians here who received any industry payment. Most of it was categorised as food and beverage, and the largest single payer was ABBVIE INC..

What this means for your care

  • A disclosed payment is a business relationship, not evidence of wrongdoing, and it says nothing on its own about the quality of your care.
  • Most payments are small. Across the physicians listed on NavMDs, the single most common category is food and beverage at industry-sponsored talks.
  • Larger consulting, speaking or royalty payments mean an ongoing financial relationship with a company whose products your doctor may use or recommend. That is worth knowing about, and it is reasonable to ask about.
  • A fair question to ask: “Do you have a financial relationship with the maker of the implant, filler or device you're recommending — and what alternatives did you consider?”
