Blackheads On Nose

This seems like a good enough place as any to post this since I am oily, and oil = buildup, etc.

 

My question is, straight up, how do I get rid of blackheads on my nose? I've had them since I was about 12. I do the nose strips, which help - for about a day and then next blackheads. I squeeze and gross stuff comes out but, next day comes back. (I think I read somewhere the black is from the bacteria hitting the air). Maybe I just need to try and reduce the size of my pores.

 

I don't put any treatment on my nose because it gets flaky on its own, yet it's very oily. Weird.

 

Suggestions? because I hate them.

Those are probably sebaceous filaments, not black heads. You can't get rid of them, but you can reduce their appearance. AHAs help and I've also heard witch hazel can be helpful.

I'm not sure if blackheads can pop back up the day after being extracted. If they are small dark spots that are evenly spread around the nose then they are more likely sebaceous filaments as paigems said.
