Am I the only one who finds it difficult to effectively remove blackheads?

These days, every morning when I wash my face and look in the mirror, the area around my nose is particularly noticeable, and it's frustrating. It used to be smooth even with a quick wash, but now even the slightest bit of light makes the bumps and dark spots stand out. I've tried to get rid of my blackheads at home, but I haven't seen much progress, which is deeply concerning. I've heard that forcing them can damage your skin, so I've tried carefully dissolving them with cleansing oil, but I still feel like I'm stuck. I'm curious about the best blackhead removal methods, so I search YouTube and blogs every night. But with so much information out there, it's hard to know what to trust. I've noticed my skin isn't what it used to be, so I'm afraid to use harsh treatments. Do you have any blackhead-removing tips you use to maintain a smooth, irritated nose? Could you share some of your tips or experiences?
