Dermatologist Shereene Idriss explains why sebaceous filaments aren't blackheads and warns that coconut oil and other comedogenic oils make them worse. She recommends sulfur-containing cleansers to control sebum instead.
When it comes to sebaceous filaments, which are very different than blackheads, oil cleansing has become all the rage because people are into this instant gratification of seeing the crap come out of their noses. But as a dermatologist, I'm not going to stand behind this trend because a oil cleansing is a very generic term without specifying what type of oil is being used, because not all oils are appropriate. There are some oils, coconut oil, which are extremely clog inducing and comedogenic. And at the end of the day, while oil cleansing may be fun for some, you're not actually treating or controlling the issue at hand, which is the production of oil that might be heightened in some people, resulting in sebaceous filaments. And that is where in my video you can click it right here I spoke about sulfur cleansers because sulfur is a known ingredient that has been used for years to control sebum production.
