Hi doctor Im a 45 year old male having trouble shaving I noticed my pore's are a bit big than usual.
How can I reduce the size of my pore's and make my skin feel good. Feels a bit tight when I shave.
When I Don't shave a day or so seems like the hair doesn't grow properly.

Would like your advice thanks.

Hi doctor
Thanks for your responce I went to a Salon where they Told me my normal soap
might be drying out my skin. She gave Dermalogica clean bar to use instead of
my normal soap for shaving, aslo some md formulations facial cleanser.

Which contains glycolic acid would that be the right step to improving
my skin and small bumps I told and to use a moisturizer as well.

John.

Hello,
The problem of enlarged pores on face or facial pores is commonly associated with excessive oiliness and acne. The excessive oiliness of the skin is in turn triggered by the hormonal changes in the body.

Large pores can be easily dealt with proper cleansing and frequent toning and moisturizing of the skin. Other treatments to consider include microdermabrasion, skin resurfacing lasers and chemical skin peels.

In my opinion you should discuss these treatment options with a cosmetologist/dermatologist. It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your dermatologist. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing.
