Open pores – there is no such dermatological term !!!!

As a dermatologist, I get patients who come looking for cure of open pores on their face which are impacting their looks and confidence. I have not read about open pores as a disease and couldn’t find any reference to the same in my standard dermatology textbooks. Hence, I decided to research about “open pores” and started to look for scientific data; this is the summary of information gathered and my understanding of open pores.

1. How do I recognise that I have open pores?
2. Why me! Why do I get these open pores?
3. Can we prevent development of new open pores?
4. Can I get rid of the open pores that I have?
