Closed comedones on the nose can be removed through various methods, mainly including: 1. Medication: Under the guidance of a physician, topical medications such as adapalene gel or tretinoin cream can be used. These medications effectively alleviate symptoms and promote the resolution of comedones. For patients with more severe conditions, oral medications such as tanshinone capsules or angelica and sophora pill may also be used to accelerate recovery. 2. Photorejuvenation: Using intense pulsed light to dissolve closed comedones while stimulating collagen regeneration, helping to minimize pores and make the skin smoother and more delicate. 3. Chemical peeling: Applying high-concentration fruit acid to the face to stimulate exfoliation of aged skin cells, regulate sebum production, improve pore blockage, and thereby eliminate closed comedones. 4. Laser therapy: Utilizing specific photothermal energy to directly kill the bacteria causing closed comedones, with minimal trauma to the skin and faster recovery. 5. Extraction: Using a sterile comedone extractor to puncture the comedone and remove the pus. Attention should be paid to post-treatment skincare and cleansing.
