Hi Doctor, Off late, I have been suffereing from blackheads clogging all over the tip of my nose, and also an inch below my eyes. And I have been suffering from Acne for a long time.. Am not using any medication right now, other than Old Cinthol soap for cleaning my face. Yes, mine is a oily skin and soon after I wash my face, my face gets oily within 10-15 mins

Hello,

First thing to do is to prepare the area by opening the pores with a facial steamer, or a hot towel for 15 minutes. Once the area has been treated, you can proceed with dissolving the sebum and oil plugs.

Typically for blackheads, a retinoid medication is used ( differin or retin-a)

For the nose pore strips , which are medicated strips of cloths that are applied to your nose and then removed, can also remove these plugs.

Kind regards,
Dr.Mersila
