I have a similar problem with with blackheads, and also some acne. I have recently been trying Apple Cider Vineger. I take 2 tablespoons orally in a cup of water 3 times a day, and also apply it topically 3 times a day. I have very large pores on my nose and each side of my nose. They are puffy and almost swollen. I have been doing this regimen for two weeks and it is the best my pores have looked in ten years. I have been getting A LOT of dead skin off of these areas. They are almost scabs but not that noticable. I have been gradually getting the skin off with abrasive pads made for this purpose. But my pores even some deep holes from squeezing too hard are much better. For more info on this try this site: http://www.earthclinic.com.
