My Podiatrist Says I Have Poro Keratosis , A Clogged
Question: My podiatrist says I have poro keratosis , a clogged pore that results in pain, at first, quite severe, under my little toe.
I am treating it with a moisturizer twice a day and it definitely has helped, but I wonder if there is a way to unclog this pore so that I do not have to moisturize it twice a day for ever.
