The Biggest Dilated Pore of Winer?! THERAPY Biggest Dilated Pore avoiding reoccurring and leaving scars

A dilated pore of Winer (DPW) is a large, solitary, open comedone (essentially a giant blackhead) that can become inflamed or problematic. Let’s break this down into two key parts: therapy/removal and preventing recurrence and scarring!

🌿 1. Treatment and Removal Options:

• Manual extraction (best by a dermatologist):
  • The pore is cleaned and carefully extracted with a comedone extractor or surgical tools.
  • Sometimes a small incision is made to fully remove the keratin plug.
• Curettage or punch excision:
  • The dermatologist may remove the entire pore with a circular blade or a punch biopsy tool.
  • This helps ensure the pore doesn’t keep refilling.
• Laser or electrocautery:
  • These can help seal the pore and prevent it from reopening.

🛡️ 2. Preventing Recurrence and Scarring:

• Proper wound care post-extraction:
  • Keep the area clean, apply antibiotic ointment, and avoid picking at the site.
  • Silicone gel or hydrocolloid bandages can help reduce scarring.
• Regular skincare to minimize pore enlargement:
  • Use a gentle exfoliator (like salicylic acid or glycolic acid) to prevent buildup.
  • Retinoids (like tretinoin) can help keep pores clear and promote collagen remodeling.
• Professional follow-up:
  • If you’re prone to these large pores, regular dermatological assessments can catch them early.

⚠️ Key to avoiding scars and recurrence:

• Avoid squeezing it yourself — incomplete removal often leads to inflammation, abscess formation, or scarring.
• Address the underlying causes of clogged pores (e.g., oily skin or lack of exfoliation).
