What Causes Enlarged Pores On Face Of A 9 Year Old?

Hi. My daughter of almost nine years old started having some enlarged pores on her face about a year ago. You can only see it when you really look closely, but I ve never seen it in other children before. The pores definitely got more through the year. What could the cause be and what is the best treatment for it?

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hi! It seems that what your daughter has is the result of a skin eruption. The fact is that that there are sebaceous glands on the face of a person, when these get blocked due to sweat, we get a condition called as a pimple. If there is an infection, and the person, scratches away, we have a condition called as a blackhead forming. These can give the appearance of pores. They do not have a single specific presentation. I suggest that you require clindamycin gel which will clear the germs, if any.
