My cheek skin is bumpy, and I can see sebum in every pore.
Hello. I am writing to inquire about receiving a consultation regarding the sebum and enlarged pores on my cheeks.
Lately, when I look closely in the mirror, I can see white, sebum-like substances filling the pores on both my cheeks. When I touch my skin, it doesn't feel smooth; it feels like there are small granules on it. My pores are particularly noticeable right after washing my face, and as time passes, oil rises to the surface, making my skin look even dirtier.
I've tried paying attention to cleansing and exfoliating to get rid of sebum, but my skin just feels like it's getting drier, and there are no noticeable changes.
I am wondering if it is okay to squeeze out the sebum on my cheeks like I would on my nose, and if forcibly removing it could make my pores larger.
Are there any dermatological procedures that can regulate sebum secretion while also thoroughly cleaning out impurities from the pores? I would like recommendations for a care method that does not cause severe skin irritation or redness.

- 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
