I previously went to my derm who was treating my acne (facial) and she said this is not really a major concern and everyone has this. But I am so incredibly insecure and no matter what I do, I can’t fix this at home. The left (1st pic) has less inflamed pores but when I pick at them, I extract I’m guessing sebaceous filament and it has almost a cheesy odour to it. The right (2nd) is the same in some areas but more raised and sometimes pop when I extract, like whiteheads. What can I do??
