• Is an enlarged hair follicle filled with dead skin cells that usually develops on the face
• Usually look like a large “black head” or large skin pore
• May range in diameter from 1 mm to over 5 mm
• May get gradually larger with time and do not disappear spontaneously

[av_toggle title=’Removal:’ tags=”]

• The skin around the enlarged pore is injected with a local anesthetic to numb the area
• The contents and the wall of the pore are removed
• Stitches are used to close the opening
  • Usually only a single stitch is required
• Antibiotic ointment and a bandage are used to cover the wound
• The day after surgery apply a small amount of antibiotic ointment to the wound and change the bandage daily until the stitches are removed
• If you notice redness, pain, swelling or a discharge from your wound, let the doctor know immediately
• The stitches are removed in 5 to 10 days
• The removal of stitches is painless
• You may bathe, shower and do your normal activities unless the cyst that has been removed is very large and there is a risk of the wound being damaged. The doctor will inform you about this
• There is a small chance that the pore could grow back
• There is no cream at this time that will remove a dilated pore of winer
• There is no way to prevent a dilated pore from developing
• Removal of dilated pores of winer is not covered by OHIP or private health insurance
• A referral from a doctor is necessary to make your first appointment
