Hi everyone!
So basically, I have extremely large pores on my nose. They've been like this for years! I have tried so many different products with no luck. My nose gets so oily, a slick of oil all the time. I wash my face twice a day, I always take my makeup off, I really look after my skin and have invested in products like clarasonic to help. I do get acne quite a bit, but just usally the odd pimple rather than covered in acne, however when I get a spot, it's normally a huge spot rather than just a tiny pimple. I could deal with that, if it wasn't for my oily nose with large pores - I sometimes get cysts and I have been to a dermatologist who advised that the cysts are caused from the oil, and the only way to prevent the cysts are to go on roaccutane as this shrinks the oil glands.
My dermatologist said they won't prescribe me roaccutuane on the NHS as my skin isn't bad enough for it, but that it is the only way to prevent the cysts (which happen about two or three times a year).
Does anyone have any advice? I would happily go on the roaccutane but I can't afford it privately and my derma said they won't give it to me as there's specific guidelines. I feel so conscious of how bad my pores look and have been this way for years, I am so fed up
Thanks and sorry for the ramble! xx
