Understanding Large Pores and Treatment Expectations

• Large pores can be challenging to treat, and results may take several months. Patience is key.

Review of Current Medications

• Deriva-CMS Gel: Combines adapalene and clindamycin to reduce acne and inflammation.
• Sotret (Isotretinoin): Decreases oil production, helping to reduce pore size over time.

Possible Reasons for Lack of Improvement

• Skin type, treatment duration, and adherence can affect outcomes. Two months may be insufficient for visible changes.

Next Steps and Additional Options

• Consult a dermatologist for a personalized assessment.
• Consider adjunct treatments like chemical peels or laser therapy.
• Maintain a skincare routine: cleanse, moisturize, and use sunscreen.

Monitoring and Follow-up

• Regular follow-up with your healthcare provider is crucial to adjust treatment as needed.
