What causes enlarged pores in children?

Generally speaking, when it comes to skin problems, more people may pay attention to the skin condition of adults, because many people think that children are more delicate to begin with, so how can they have skin problems, let alone enlarged pores. But in fact, children also have problems with enlarged pores. Below we will introduce to you the reasons that cause enlarged pores in children.

1. Abnormal keratinization of hair follicles and sebaceous gland duct openings

Due to factors such as the lack of coordination in lifestyle, hormone secretion, and seasonal changes, keratin cannot be metabolized normally, and too much keratin accumulates in the hair follicles and sebaceous gland duct openings, making the pores rough and easily clogged, thus causing enlarged pores.

Excessive oil secretion

Excessive oil secretion and inability to metabolize it in time will cause excess oil to accumulate in the hair follicles, expanding the pores, and making the pores gradually appear larger. This condition usually occurs during adolescence and is often accompanied by acne and blackheads.

Dry, dehydrated skin

When the skin is dry and dehydrated, the cells around the pores will also lack water and shrink. At the same time, the cuticle will become dry and rough, and the pores will become more obvious.

After recognizing and understanding these reasons, we will know how to better help children solve the problem of enlarged pores. However, we must also remind parents and friends not to blindly use skin care products on their children. Because children’s skin is indeed more delicate, sometimes blindly using these products may cause more adverse effects on their skin health.
