Is the acne treatment effective even if blackheads and whiteheads are present?
2026.09.19 18:31
I have blackheads around my nose and small, bumpy, millet-like bumps on the inside of my cheeks, so I am looking into acne treatment. I'm not sure if the cause of the two is the same or different.
When I use nose strips or sebum removers, my nose looks clean for a while but returns to its current state after a few days, and on my cheeks, even after exfoliating, it feels like small granules remain.
Can I still expect effective acne treatment in this case? I am also curious if blackheads and whiteheads are managed differently when receiving acne treatment.
I would also like to know if it is possible to differentiate between areas that require extraction and those that do not during the acne treatment process. Rather than treating it aggressively all at once, I would like to address it step-by-step within limits that do not irritate the skin.

I'm worried about dryness and redness on my cheeks in late autumn. What kind of care would be best?[6]
CommentsIt seems wise of you to be cautious with exfoliation when your cheeks feel tight and red due to the heating. I would also like to take your advice on whether I should consult about soothing care or a skin booster first.220026.11.03 - 02CommentsWhat kind of skincare is good in this case?450026.11.02
- 03CommentsIt’s amazing that you’ve consistently managed with just soothing care without touching your hands. I’ll check the reply when it comes up regarding whether the extraction comes first or if the peeling is done together.200026.11.03

- 02CommentsWhen breakouts occur, I'm always confused about the order of things—whether to exfoliate first or moisturize first. It's nice to find out that you share the same concern.580026.10.30
- 03CommentsIt would be difficult to determine the required number of sessions from the start, as it varies depending on the level of inflammation, the presence of scars, and management goals. It would make comparisons easier if you asked about the timing of the interim evaluation and the criteria for modifying the plan during the consultation.520026.10.28
- 01CommentsI'm also stressed because I keep getting acne, but it seems like getting laser treatments consistently is important. I think it will get better after receiving more than 10 sessions.2180026.10.26
- 02CommentsI imagine you are really curious if you can manage both blackheads and acne at the same time. It would be a good idea to consult with them to see if they can be treated together after assessing your skin condition.710026.10.25
- 03CommentsI get breakouts on my chin before and after my period exactly the same way, so it really feels like I'm on the same page. During your consultation, please ask about the best order to manage the current inflammation and remaining marks, as well as available time slots after work!1310026.10.25
