I have oily skin and a lot of blackheads, not only on nose but also on my cheeks. What would be the best facial to clear out these blackheads? I have tanned skin and my skin is very sensitive. I had a standard facial at a salon before and manual extractions were done with a blackhead removal tool. The blackheads were very stubborn and my skin was left damaged after this facial. I've researched hydrafacial, microdermabrasion and microneedling but I'm still not sure which is best for me.
I called my neurosurgeon who I havent needed to talk to in 10 years to ask this question. A nurse called back saying it was fine. I tried to make it very clear what my concerns were, asking the same question quite a few times, but she said it was fine. Im still nervous though and wish I couldve talked to my doctor but also dont want to waste his time. I feel like I cant call back either because Im sure theyll say we already answered this question. What do you think? Is it safe?
Since I was 23, these small black dots have been appearing near my cheek and every year that passes they get bigger. I would like to know what it is and how to treat it. I have already used ointment and other skin care routines but nothing has worked.
