How To Treat Facial Open Pores In A 6 Years Old Child?
Hi my son is now six and has lots of large open pores on his cheeks, since he had terrible acne as a newborn baby. As he has grown the pores seem to have become more noticeable, and he now aware of them, through other kids' comments at school. Can I do anything to help shrink the pore size?

Thank you for follow up. Open pores are natural skin problems that occur due to excess production of oil or sebum in the body. I suggest next masks:
1.Two egg whites with the juice of half a lemon are blended. Apply this pack on the skin and leave for 10-15 minutes for a month.
2.Papaya helps in improving skin’s texture, elasticity . Mash to make a paste and apply.
3.The vitamin C present in tomato can work wonders to clogged pores. Extract the juice from tomato and add with a little honey on it. Mix well and then apply this mixture on your face daily.
4.Mixture of cucumber juice with few drops of rose water and apply the mixture onto the face. Leave for 15-20 minutes and wash your face. This remedy will help in treating open pores and in improving the skin texture as well.
In addition give to your baby multivitamins-zincovit 5ml once daily for 1 month
Take care
