Nose pore extraction
I have been squeezing out my nose pores for a year using my fingers. My nose usually becomes swollen and my skin starts to peel. A week ago I stopped doing it. Could this have possibly enlarged my nose and or caused permanent damage to the skin or permanent swelling. Thank you.
