Question 1

how long do pores take to close?

Accepted Answer

Few seconds: Skin pores should not take long to close. For example if a pimple breaks open it should close over in less than 3- 4 minutes. 
You may have longer clotting times due to meds, infection etc.

Question 2

is there a way to diminish or even close large pores?

Accepted Answer

No: You can not actually close pores. They arent muscular in nature to be able to be opened or closed they are small opening in your skin. You can use makeup and different things to diminish their appearance. Cleansers and toners keep them clean but you can not actually close them. Wash your face daily as the pores can get clogged and enlarge. You can use ice to tighten skin around the pores.

Question 3

i unclogged a pore filled with nasty white puss and it remained open and is still very open and noticable, how can i close and shrink it?

Accepted Answer

May shrink on own: If the pore was quite large as you say it may have caused some scarring. If that is the case there is little that you can do in terms of shrinking it. Give it some time though; keep the area clean and avoid further trauma at the site and it should become less noticeable.   If it continues to bother you after a few months, consider seeking out a dermatologist or plastic surgeon.

Question 4

how can i close the pores on my face?

Accepted Answer

CLOSE PORES: Pores are not like doors. You cannot open and close them whenever you wish. Pores are the openings of oil glands; they  are inherited; you cannot change their size. Oily skin & severe acne may make pores “appear” larger. Squeezing  blackheads & pimples  can lead to permanently widened pores. Toners & astringents can make them look smaller temporarily. 
And get rid of your magnifying mirrors!

Question 5

what are black pores?

Accepted Answer

Black heads: They are plugged pores and they appear black.
Blackheads are typically caused by the overproduction of oil, which tends to occur when a person reaches puberty.

Spikes in hormone production can result in the high levels of DHT (dihydrotestosterone), a hormone which triggers overactivity in the oil glands, resulting in clogged pores.
