I have some noticeably enlgarded pores on
my nose. When squeezed these pores
usually excreet an oily
substance...Otherwise they turn dark with
built up oils... Either way, they're
visible and it's frusterating.
A few months ago this wasn't the case, and
my pores were nearly invsibile...I'm not
entirely sure what caused the
change...Possibly from a change in facial
cleanser, peeling, or drynes...I don't
know. It actually seems like the pores
are the same size, but are more "open" if
that makes sense.
Lately i've tried a variety of products,
but settled on using st. Ives vitamim e
moisturizor, and neutrogena's pore
refining cleanser, with no noticeable
improvements thus far.
Other than this issue, I have very little
acne.
I was considering some dermatologist
procedures, such as microdermabrasion, or
a weak acid peel, as i've read that these
do reduce the appearence of pores (while
diminishing the minimal acne scaring I do
have).
But i'm not entirely sure what would be
the best option, so I was hoping someone
with prior experience with this could
possibly weigh in...
I'm also 18 and male if that matters.
Anyway, much thanks in advance :-d

Hey spinoza,
you can try the microdemabrasion. I am
currently having that treatment once every
2 weeks. It minimizes the pores and I
see the difference after the 3rd
treatment.

Enlarged Pores Posted: 06-27-07 11:15am
i have the same problem and have for
years. the pores on my nose are noticablly
more clogged than the rest of my face. i
dont know how to clean them and close them
properly i guess. the pores are darker and
when squeezed, a bit of stuff comes out.
is there anyway to shrink and clean them
out using at home products? without paying
alot for medical cremes and such?
Help! this has been going on far too
long....
