Hi,

I am 24 years old and have always had oily skin and big pores, but never any acne really. Over the past few months I stared to notice these little grains stuck in the pores of my nose and forehead. I can scrub them out really hard, but they always come back the next day! What the heck are these things? And is there any way to permanently get rid of them? It is so frustrating because when I wash my face, my pores will shrink up and most of these things will fall out. Come the next morning, my pores are open again and these yellow things are stuck in my pores again! Any help would be very appreciated! I attached some pictures.

i usually just steam my face to open up my pores, and wrap my fingers in tissue paper and squeeze them out. i recommend that but DO NOT over do it. i do this once every 2 weeks because my face is quite sensitive. don't squeeze until it's bleeding.

Okay I will try that. But what are these things and what are they made of? I don't think it's pus. Is there any medications or creams that will stop them from appearing?

I have the exact same thing. If I make a serious face eusa_doh.gif like that they usually come out like toothpaste from a tube. I have serious acne in my nose region so I just let them be. it does look like puss though.

They don't come out when I make a face or anything like that, but I can use tweezers and pull them out. I'm hoping somebody knows exactly what this is or what this condition is called, because I've never heard of something like this before! After doing some research, I think it might be dried up oil stuck in my pores? Still not sure though.

I have it, but 1000000000x worse all over my face (and neck/jaw) and body. I only got it after i took antibiotics. Did you ever take antibiotics?

Nope, not over the past few months. The last time I took antibiotics was years ago
