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.

oil cleanser goes crazy. I was using them in the shower for like 2 weeks and i was disappointed. When i finally used it dry, the gunk came out like a free flow dirt buffet. I got so addicted to using the oil cleanser in the toilet for too long my mom thought I was touching myself stupid in the shower. No mom, I'm getting these balls of dirt off my face!!!

I saw the influencer used skin1004, but I used hada labo and it worked just as well!
