I am worried about sebum.

I keep getting sebum, so I end up squeezing it. Even after buying and trying products that are supposed to be good, once sebum forms, it doesn't disappear; squeezing it just fills it up again and makes my pores even wider. I know I should just leave it alone, but it bothers me so I end up squeezing it. I actually enjoy the gratifying feeling of squeezing, but afterwards, my skin peels, making my makeup cakey. How do you all manage your sebum?
