Large pores/blackheads on nose
I have had a problem with blackheads on my nose since I was a teenager. Does anyone know of any good treatments? Everything I use dries out my skin and then it scabs and looks awful. thanks!

Hi,
Just avoid picking on the black heads. They may get infected in the process and the swelling and infection may cause scarring and disclorations.
Ask your physician regarding the use of a deep pore cleansing treatment which may involve exfoliation and extraction by the dermatologist.Ask help from your physician on the proper way to use steam in opening the pores prior to cleansing the face. Be careful with the use of steam.
Keep a daily facial regimen. Exfoliate, cleanse , tone and moisturise the skin. Use mild unscented and hypoallergenic products to avoid drying and irritation.
Take lots of water and keep a balanced meal. Exercise and get adequate amount of sleep.
I hope this helps.

the easiest thing to do to get rid of black heads, is to get some astrengent(spelling) and water it down it wont dry your skin out and still should dry up the black heads.
