Do I need to see a dermatologist for itchy, red patches on my face?

Thanks for question. It does sound like you are having some jawline acne. I do see this very often in women and this is usually related to hormonal factors. The acne breakout commonly occurs around the mouth and on the jawline areas. You have also described itchy, dry and flaky red patches on the cheeks and eyelids and this sound like possible eczema on the face as well. This can be due to underlying sensitive skin or can be aggravated by use of harsh products. I do think that it would be good for you to see the dermatologist to get both conditions attended to.

Are facials recommended for big facial pores?

Pores are a major concern for many of my patients and can be quite tricky to treat. Instead of facials, another way to reduce pore size would be through the use of lasers: 1. Carbon laser peel The carbon laser peel is a laser procedure that works together with a thin layer of fine liquid carbon that is applied to the skin. When applied, the liquid carbon penetrates into the pores. As the laser is applied to the skin, the liquid carbon vaporises, reducing the pore size and removing bacteria and dirt along with it. This laser has no downtime and can be done every 2 weeks. 2.
