What is this? Pics inside

[TylerD]

Ok I found these pics of this girl on this site I used to go too and she wasnt sure what this was so I thought maybe you guys could help me out. Are these your idea of large pores? Or are these scars? See I have big pores but they dont really look like this.... Im not sure what these are... Do any of you have similar skin to this?

Here are the pics.

1st one. Is just these scars on her left side under her eye... Also this is where my large pores are located as well

2nd: These are the same thing except on her right side. Located both sides on her face

3rd: Another shot of her left side

4th: This was her before she said she got bad skin and acne.

I would say that some of them are pores, such as the smaller looking indentations, and the bigger looking ones are scars or pits/craters. Not sure why some people get these. Could it be pitted from popping pimples? That would be my best guess, but I'm sure others have better opinions!

It looks like a combination of a few scars and large pores to me.

Agree with both comments.

This is why you shouldn't pick or pop your pimples. Sometimes the blackhead extraction could lead to similar problem as well.

Oh actually she said she never popped.... Well wait she did!! But she posted pics when she did have acne and she never had it where those pores are though. ANd that is what is so strange about it.... SHe doesnt understand it either. SHe said she got acne on her forehead and her chin only.... So what els could be the cause of that??? Unless shes lieing :| but I really doubt that.... I feel bad for her

that is enough to make anyone feel self concious.

Would smashbox photo finish primer fill that in or probably not?

As I mentioned above, it could also happened from a frequent blackhead extraction if you don't do it gently and carefully. If she had acne and oily skin she must have done the frequent blackhead extraction and that lead to large pores and minor scars.

I don't know whether Smashbox primer could really help to cover the pores, but at least it could lessen or smoothen the scar a bit.

Ok thanks Leony you have been a good help

. I will ask her if maybe she tried one of these in the past and see what she says. Ive never heard of this blackhead extraction before... Ill ask her what she has tried in the past... Maybe she did some bad chemical peel. I have heard sometimes those are not good if dont poorly. Ill also tell her to check into Smashbox maybe.

I am glad I could share something I've learned from books

Anyway, she needs to do a regular peel to fix it, it'll help but it takes times.

I think it is a combination of large pores plus scars.

It looks like a combination of both! I see pores and scars. But, her skin may be so delicate that from popping/or just having pimples she scarred.

The reason why I believe it's just genes... because my bf has ALWAYS popped his and does not have a single scar/pits/craters from them. He must just have good skin. He still gets pimples, but rarely, and he still pops them. So I mostly think she has delicate skin.. it's not just from popping them or my bf would have the same scars.
