Does brushing off whiteheads cause wudhu to break?

Q: 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.

A: This does not cause the wudhu to break.

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