Question

I have a lot of whiteheads on my nose. From what I know these are clogged pores. After ghusl, because of the heat of the shower, the white heads and clogged pores comes closer to the surface of my nose and I can brush some off with my hand. It's not watery. Does this break wudu like pus would? Or does it just count as dirt of the body.

Answer

This does not cause the wudhu to break.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
