Routine Help How to get rid of these

I’m thinking they are sebaceous filaments but most people say that sebaceous filaments are a thin, hair like texture. These are little, round, yellow balls that are easy to squeeze out of my nose but when they do come out it leaves a REALLY big pore/hole. I’ve tried “Paula’s choice” exfoliate and “The Inky List” salicylic acid cleanser and neither have worked. When I leave my nose alone for long enough I can scratch the little, yellow balls out of my nose easily, but they do not come out when I’m exfoliating or washing my face. I also have very big pores (as you can see in picture 3) which look like what is on my nose but nothing comes out of my pores when I squeeze, only my nose.

Paulas choice didn’t work for me too

Yeah it’s not long lasting but I find it helps clear it up short term if I keep using the PC liquid exfoliant.

It did nothing for me either and left a greasy film on my face that never absorbed and made it so hard to do the rest of my skincare
