Published on September 13, 2019, Dr. Pimple Popper, a dermatologist and TLC host, has removed a dilated pore of Winer from a patient's skin in a new YouTube video.
A dilated pore of Winer is a large blackhead so compacted with dead skin and keratin that a single pore becomes greatly enlarged. It is often found in people with cystic acne and can be up to a centimeter in diameter.
Dr. Lee, aka Dr. Pimple Popper, removes the pore by 'popping' it, then scraping it of material and removing its sac wall to prevent regrowth. She closes the incision with two single stitches, hoping for a clean removal with no chance of return.
Unlike common blackheads, a pore of Winer has contents so densely packed that the pore can dilate anywhere from a few millimeters to more than a centimeter in diameter. It is filled with keratin and dead skin cells, which is the white substance seen extracted in this Dr. Lee video.
