OK, so i have a lot of blackheads on my nose. USUALLY when i pop them or when come out by themselves, the enlarged pores would heal and it wouldnt be noticeable. but 2 months ago i had popped the blackhead that wouldnt come out naturally for a year and it left this HUGE hole. after i had popped it it bled a little and i thought that the scab would make it heal but after a few days it had just left a huge hole. after i took the black head out completely i made sure to apply neosporin every day including when i sleep. its been about 2 months and its still there! i even bought vitamin A cream a few days ago because i read that it would help shrink enlarged pores BUT IT DOESNT GET ANY SMALLER. i hate it when people glance constantly at the hole the size of a blunt pencil tip...its so embarrassing and i try to just ignore it. even though i usually dont care about my face cuz im a 17 year old guy this has changed my whole perspective on the way people see my face. i have clean/normal skin and i try not to touch my face during the day. and i only pop blackheads after a hot shower. will this hole ever get smaller? or do i have to wait even longer...
I believe what you're experiencing is a scarred pore. I have a few on my nose too...
From what I have read TCA CROSS, peels, or needling may help them, but I don't have any personal experience. I would check out the scar forum. There are few recent topics on this issue (including one started by me).
