It looks like trichostasis spinulosa. Is it possible to treat it at a dermatology clinic?
I am constantly bothered by what looks like black dots or hairs embedded around my nose and cheeks when I look closely. At first, I thought they were blackheads or sebum, so I tried cleansing diligently, but it didn't make much difference. Since some of them looked like hair when I examined them closely, I looked it up and learned that it is called trichostasis spinosa or pilosula. I have tried plucking them one by one with my fingers, but they seemed to disappear for a while before reappearing in a similar state. My skin also turns red from constantly touching them. I am particularly concerned because they are in visible areas like the sides of my nose and cheeks, so they cannot be completely covered even with makeup. I am wondering if this requires a treatment method different from simply managing sebum or blackheads. I am also curious if a dermatologist can immediately confirm if it is trichostasis spinosa, and if treatments like laser hair removal could help improve the condition. I would also like to know if multiple treatments are required for pilosula spinosa. I would also like to ask medical professionals if it is advisable to avoid plucking or extracting them myself at home.

- 02CommentsIf this is your first laser treatment, I imagine you are concerned not only about the pain but also about your schedule afterward. It would be helpful to mention during the consultation that you have a low pain tolerance and to confirm if the procedure can be paused temporarily if you experience discomfort. Before an important appointment, I would also like to be informed of the guidelines for contacting them if redness persists, in addition to the average recovery period.180026.10.22

Please make sure to check during your consultation how much redness or irritation will occur immediately after the procedure, and whether makeup can be applied on the same day.

- 02CommentsFor your first visit, it would be easier to schedule if you check the consultation, preparation, and soothing care separately, in addition to the procedure time. When making the reservation, it would be helpful to ask if it is possible to have just the consultation first, and also when to reapply sunscreen after returning home.250026.10.19
- 03CommentsI imagine you must be quite self-conscious if the condition cannot be covered well even with makeup. I haven't received the treatment myself yet, so I cannot provide a review, but I would like to confirm what timeframe is used to confirm that the claim of improvement without recurrence is based. It would also be helpful to ask the clinic if the care methods or recovery periods differ when consulting about both the eye area and the cheeks together.220026.10.18
