Hello, I have sensitive pale asian skin. Due to squeezing blackheads out during adolescence, I have accumulated what I think is known as "strawberry nose"(?) where my pores have become quite large and get filled with excess sebum. I would like to know if there are any treatments that could close or reduce the size of my pores? I also recently pick out a freckle on my cheek leaving a gouge and scarred skin. Having applied aloe vera, is there anything else I could do to prevent scarring?

Answer: Plato's Scar Serum and fractional laser for your freckle scar
Wet to dry or Dry to dry dressings work well initially. I would recommend a plastic surgery eval to determine the best local wound care. Best, Dr. KaramanoukianLos Angeles
I would begin with a combination of Melarase AM, Melarase PM, Plato's Scar Serum, Melapads, and a retinoid cream to lighten the dark discoloration of the scars.Best, Dr. KaramanoukianLos Angeles
