My nose is very tender and very swollen. This is not my concern, i knew it would swell, my concern is the blackheads. I started wearing makeup 1 week post operation, i wear makeup everyday now to work. So of course there are a lot of blackheads on my nose. How can i clean them? i know i cannot extract them because it hurts when i touch it. I tape it at night which also causes the blackheads and clogged pores. Can i use something like St Ives to exfoliate my skin? My nose feels so dirty.
