I’ve posted a dozen times in here about sebaceous filaments (solidified sebum) which protrude from the pores all over my face/scalp/upper chest and back (all areas where there is higher sebum production).
Now I’ve had them for about 3 years now but only noticed them about a year and a half ago, now since then my pores have gotten 10x worse, I now have large pores which cover most of my face and I still have this re occurring issue of the filaments filling them up and looking like there is rice grains poking out of my skin, even if they have just been taken out of the pore they fill back up really quickly.
My skin is also dry.
The only thing that sounds plausible to me is my higher sat fat intake causing it and making up the composition of my sebum but I’d find it so difficult to cut fat out completely, I’m already skinny as heck and I’m working out consistently at the moment so the lost calories from the sat fat would be a killer.
I see some people state that pores are genetic, which makes no sense in my case as there’s not one person in my family with large pores.
I’ve tried so many topical things the last year, including oil cleansing and nothing really works.
Theres got to be a reason why my skin is doing this?! It’s not a normal things, there’s hardly any info about it online, I can’t even find much stuff in online forums or anything so I’m absolutely baffled. I don’t see people in Keto groups complaining about it and I see nothing here.
I have dry skin already, I know that pores can get bigger with age as you lose elastin in the case which keeps the pores more ‘together’ but I’m only 22 and I don’t want this appearance so young getting any worse than what it is!!
There’s got to be something out there! A year and a half later of experimenting and researching and I’ve got nothing!
I do apologise if you’ve seen me post this before but it’s something I’m so desperate to know about it!!!
