It feels like sebum is clogging up in every pore on my cheeks. How should I manage this?

Hello. I am writing to inquire because I have been very concerned lately about enlarged pores and excess sebum on my cheeks.
The area around my nose has always tended to be oily, but recently, pores have started to become noticeably visible on both cheeks as well. If you look closely, each pore appears to be filled with white or yellow sebum, and the skin surface feels bumpy and uneven.
Even if I wash my face thoroughly, it feels like sebum comes back quickly, and when I touch it with my hands, it actually feels even more bumpy. Sometimes I try pressing on it with a cotton swab, but I'm worried it might irritate it.
I am curious about the cause of sebum buildup in the pores on my cheeks, and I would like to know if it is simply a sebum issue or if it is a phenomenon caused by the pores widening.
Would treatments like Aqua Peel or scaling be helpful? Or I am wondering if I should receive pore laser treatment as well. Please recommend a treatment method that can reduce sebum while improving enlarged pores and rough skin texture.
