How to Prevent Fibrous Papules on my Nose from Growing Back?

Hi there, im a 22 yr old Asian, and have undergone my 2nd electrocautery to remove the fibrous scars on my nose (For cosmetic reasons).. However, i am really worried that the fibrous bumps grew back after a while, which indeed happned after my first electrocautery session. Thus, i am rather curious is there any facial products that u guys may know that can help to alleviate/prevent the the bumps from growing back? I have a REALLY OILY skin, thus v active oil glands =((
