ugly pore "things" that won't go away...

They're called sebaceous hyperplasias. They're benign but they're UGLY.

It's a type of 'cyst' in which the pore basically turns inside out on itself. So not only is the pore larger than the surrounding skin, but the texture is not smooth. Picture a teeny tiny cauliflower of a pore. Bumpy, etc.

Peels don't do it.
Sometimes cauterization doesn't do it.

How do I know? I have 'em! Four to be exact. I have 2 on my forehead (supposedly the most common location), 1 on the side/temple, and 1 on my cheek!

I have heard of a few people having excellent results through the laser cauterization. I don't know what type of device or frequency is being used. So if this is something that you are plagued with, don't hesitate to try having a doctor remove them.

What happens is the tiny point of the device burns the pore until the layers of the skin come off. (ouchy, but worth it...) When the skin layers heal, the skin should have healed over and even texture result.
