Is dermatological treatment effective for deeply embedded blackheads?
Hello. I am writing to inquire because I am very concerned about blackheads on my nose.
I wash my face thoroughly and use cleansing oil, but the blackheads on my nose just won't go away. In particular, the blackheads are densely packed on the bridge and sides of my nose, so when viewed up close, my pores look bigger and my skin looks messy.
Although using nose strips occasionally does bring out sebum, it comes back black after a few days, and I'm worried about using them frequently because it feels like my pores are actually getting wider.
I am wondering if these blackheads are caused by excessive sebum production or by sebum accumulating in the pores for a long time. Would treatments like extraction or Aqua Peel at a dermatology clinic be effective? I would also like to know if laser treatment is necessary.
Rather than just a temporary clear complexion, I would like to reduce the recurring appearance of blackheads and keep my pores clean. Please advise on which treatment would be suitable.

- 02CommentsEven for a small brown area next to the nose, it is difficult to distinguish between a mole, freckle, or other pigmentation based solely on a photo, so please get a medical examination first. Providing information on when the spots increased, previous photos, and the products you used will be helpful for the consultation. For areas prone to redness, it would be beneficial to check not only the type of pigmentation but also the current state of irritation, and to receive guidance on criteria for postponing laser treatments and moisturizing methods.1340026.11.02
