For enlarged facial pores accompanied by acne and blackheads, the following measures should be taken for improvement. First, it is essential to maintain proper skin cleansing; it is recommended to use skincare products that are relatively mild or gentle and non-irritating. Second, under a doctor's guidance, topical medications such as salicylic acid or tretinoin cream can be applied to the facial skin, which may help alleviate symptoms to some extent. Additionally, for cases unresponsive to medication, treatments such as phototherapy (laser or light-based therapy) or facial injections of botulinum toxin may also be considered for improvement.
