I have large pore scars on my nose. Some look like 2 or 3 pores joined together to make 1 huge pore. About 8-10 that look like ice pick scars and are very noticeable. I had a doctor do a "test spot " on the side of my nose. 10 years ago, and it made them much worse. Now I have 3 crater size holes on the right side of my nose. I hate to look at myself and I am wondering if anything can be done to repair that damage as well as the remaining 7 other ice pick / pore scars.
