My face is full of milia and whiteheads. Will sebum extraction hurt? ㅠㅠ
Now that it's summer, my sebum production explodes just from walking around outside for a little while. As you can see in my photo, the sides of my nose and cheeks are completely covered in bumpy whiteheads and tiny bumps. I've tried rolling cleansing oil on them at home and squeezing them with cotton swabs, but it feels like my pores are just getting wider and nothing is coming out properly, so I'm dying of stress lol. Before my pores get clogged and spread into bigger pimples, I want to go to a dermatologist to get an extraction treatment where they soften the sebum and suck it out, or get an aqua peel. But is it really painful enough to make me cry? I'm so curious if thoroughly cleansing my pores and applying a soothing mask really tightens them up and controls the shine. Please leave me lots of tips on how you all deal with these whitehead explosions when you go to the clinic lol.
