HOW TO DIAGNOSE LARGE OPEN PORES?
A dermatologist will first perform a physical examination of the affected area. He or she will determine the severity of the condition based on the following criteria:
- Size of the pores
- Location of the pores
- Severity of the condition
- Size of the affected area
Post-evaluation, the dermatologist will note your family and medical history, hormonal health and lifestyle habits to identify the underlying cause of the concern. Based on his assessment of your skin type, the severity of the condition and the underlying cause, he will recommend a customized treatment plan for reducing your open pores visibly.
