Sebum keeps building up on my nose. How should I manage it?
2026.11.08 22:24
Even though I usually wash my face quite thoroughly, it feels like sebum builds up on my nose more easily than on other parts of my body.
I looked it up and found that it might naturally look that way due to sebaceous glands rather than blackheads, but I am curious how to distinguish between the two when it looks like the picture.
I'm also worried that if I squeeze them with my hands or use a nose pack, my pores might actually get wider.
Would treatments like Aqua Peel or sebum extraction be helpful? I've heard that nasal sebum comes back even after being removed once, so I'm curious about what kind of care is needed to reduce recurrence.
I would appreciate it if you could let me know about care methods that are gentle on the skin and the appropriate treatment cycle.

- 01CommentsIf you only extract sebum, your pores will remain as they are. You need to deep cleanse with Aqua Peel and combine it with Potenza or Fraxel to get rid of both blackheads and pores.220026.11.08
- 02CommentsThe breakouts that occur every menstrual cycle are due to hormones, so managing your sebaceous glands is the answer. When it hurts, I get anti-inflammatory injections and receive Gold PTT or Agnes treatments, so they flare up less.210026.11.08
- 03CommentsI've found that tiny bumps around the mouth can appear if you apply too much moisturizer or if irritation builds up. During times like this, I tend not to apply multiple layers of products around my mouth; instead, I manage it with a gentle moisturizer and look into trying out new skincare products.161026.11.06
