Is sulfur soap unclogging or aggravating problem?

I've kept on using the sulfur soap (over a month or so) despite
sudden acne on cheeks because I've read that for so many
people, it's important to persist with treatment to see if
it's working for kp. Today I used the soap and scrubbed as
usual with pumice stone. Then i squeezed the skin on the sides
of my nose between my fingers, out of the blue. I was freaked out
when tons of white goo kept coming out of my pores! (I don't mean to be gross, but
I want to know if this is happening to anyone else). Does this mean that the soap is doing
a good job of unclogging pores and that the white goo is just keratin loosening up or
is it the opposite and the soap is creating more keratin and that's why it's coming out like that?
I don't know if I'm on the right path with the soap or it's making it worse.
I remember someone posting recently that sulfur accelerates keratin buildup, which is
the opposite of what kp sufferers need. Any feedback?

I don't have acne but if I sqeeze my pores on the sides of my nose I get that too. It's just balckheads and whiteheads, everyone has it. Try some Biore nose strips. They work well, I use the Ponds nose strips.
