September 20, 2021
Asked By:tiannasanders in Seattle, WA

I have this large looking pores/ hair follicles where hair used to grow on my stomach. Some of them maybe be trapped hairs that won't come out. I've received laser hair removal and hair no longer grows but the pores are left looking like this. It's been a year and i exfoliate, use aha/ bha products and i'm not sure what to try. What treatment could i seek from a doctor? Any laser treatments or peels or any suggestions? I'd like this to be normal skin soon. Please please help me
