You can get a chemical peel to help to soften the dead skin and assist with the manual extraction of your clogged pores. I would see a skin care specialist for a deep cleansing facial.

Raffy Karamanoukian, MD, FACS · Answer

Our treatments use combination therapy to improve the epidermis and dermis.  We see atrophic and hypertrophic scars, as well as scars that have hypo and hyperpigmentation. Our main concern is rebuilding collagen and that is why we use a HIDEF protocol that includes combination therapy. Morpheus 8, scar subcision, fibrous release, fractional laser, CO2 laser, Thulium laser, PDL Vbeam laser, and fractional resurfacing can be used in addition to TCA Cross and chemical peels to further improve skin. Patients should start Melarase AM and Melarase PM for active hyperpigmentation. Always begin with a consultation to discuss the best treatment options for your type of skin. .

At least from the photo provided, there appear to be numerous closed comedones (blackheads). An experienced dermatologist can easily clean these out, and following this, any remaining particularly dilated pores can be treated with TCA CROSS. You would be wise to make sure that you consult a board certified cosmetic dermatologist and best of luck.
