Dilated pore of Winer

A dilated pore, also known as a dilated pore of Winer, is a cutaneous condition characterized by a solitary, prominent, open comedo on the face or upper trunk of an individual.[1]:675 They can occur on either young or elderly individuals. They are benign; however, they can be considered unsightly. The only curative method of removal is a punch excision, usually 1–3 mm. Lasers and other superficial means of removal have proven to be ineffective.

This means that it is a large, usually by itself, skin condition that touches air; or even simpler a "giant blackhead[2]". There is not real age limit getting them and they usually are on: face, neck, chest, and back. The only way that that has been proven effective in getting them out is a cutting a 1-3 mm hole near, around, or above it; nothing else has helped so far.
