Do I have to extract all the small millet seeds on my cheeks as well?
I am curious about the criteria dermatologists use to decide whether to extract bumps that look like small millet seeds around my cheeks. Unlike large, red acne, it is difficult to determine whether these small granules, which are similar in color to my skin, require extraction or if they might improve naturally over time.
I am worried that squeezing it out or touching it with my hands at home might leave marks.
However, I am also wondering if leaving it alone might cause the sebum to continue accumulating inside and make the breakouts worse. Are there cases where I can expect improvement by managing my pores or using products suitable for my skin condition, without having to extract the pores?
When receiving acne treatment for the first time, I would like to know if it is possible to selectively treat only the areas requiring extraction, rather than removing all current breakouts. I am particularly concerned about red marks remaining on my cheeks after irritation, so I would like a method that is as gentle on my skin as possible. I would also like to consult on what kind of home care is best to prevent new bumps from recurring after the procedure.

- 01CommentsSince the management of recurring breakouts around the chin varies depending on the cause, it would be helpful to take notes on when the condition worsens, the cosmetics you use, and your lifestyle patterns when you visit for your initial consultation. If you mention in advance that you have dry skin and are concerned about irritation, they will be able to guide you accordingly.260026.10.22
- 02CommentsWhen comparing prices, it would be helpful to request a breakdown of the basic package and optional items per session. Please check which items are included—such as diagnostic imaging, consultation, extraction, anti-inflammatory injections, and prescriptions—and verify if medication costs and VAT are separate. For packages, it would be convenient to compare options under the same conditions if you were informed of the session-specific composition, usage period, and settlement criteria for changing the plan midway.410026.10.22
- 03CommentsIf redness recurs even after extraction, it is recommended that you first consult a doctor to examine your current inflammatory condition and the cause of the recurrence, rather than simply comparing satisfaction reviews. Be sure to receive an explanation regarding the purpose of scaling, extraction, and prescription, as well as the specific items needed at this time. Also, ask when the progress will be evaluated after each session. Before selecting a package, checking the composition of each session, expected irritation, and guidelines for contacting the doctor if your skin becomes redder or painful will help you establish a proper care plan.200026.10.22
