The NRS Ask the Doctors has a new post up asking Rosacea has made the pores on my face large. When I get my rosacea under control, will my pores return to their normal size?
Topical and oral antibiotic therapy may be prescribed for mild cases, but more severe cases may sometimes be treated with isotretinoin, which is an oral medication typically used for severe acne. Clinical studies have shown that patients’ large sebaceous glands were diminished in size and number during isotretinoin therapy. There is also evidence that retinoids, topical medications with many of the same properties of isotretinoin, may decrease skin thickening and sebaceous gland enlargement. Spironolactone, a mild diuretic with anti-androgen properties, can also be used to decrease pore size.
Good to see some suggested treatments for large pores.
