Those white balls in your pores are likely to be sebaceous filaments. Sebaceous filaments are a mix of sebum (oil) and dead skin cells that fill the pore and appear as small white or yellowish bumps. They are a natural part of the skin’s functioning and are different from blackheads. It’s best not to try to remove them forcefully as it can lead to skin irritation. Keeping the skin clean and well-moisturized can help reduce their appearance.
