Would laser resurfacing be appropriate for the oversized sebaceous filaments on my nose? (Photos)

Asked By:Kind85808 in United Kingdom

When I was younger I was told to pick at my nose to get ‘blackheads’ out. I suspect that this has worsened the state of my already genetically predisposed large pores. My pores are large and I would like them to be less visible. Would laser resurfacing accomplish this? I have been using tretinoin which has helped but I want better results. Also what is this red mark on my nose? It has been there for a long time and won’t go. Is there a way to remove this also?
