• In a new YouTube video, Dr. Pimple Popper removes a dilated pore of Winer from a patient.
• A pore of Winer is a large blackhead so compacted with dead skin and keratin that a single pore becomes greatly enlarged.
• Dilated pore of winers are often found in people with cystic acne, and can be up to a centimeter in diameter.

In a new YouTube video, Dr. Pimple Popper—aka, dermatologist and TLC host Dr. Sandra Lee, MD—removes a dilated pore of Winer from a patient’s skin. During the procedure, Dr. Lee “pops” the pore, then scrapes it of material and removes its sac wall to prevent regrowth. Finally, she closes the incision with two single stitches, hoping for a clean removal with no chance of return.

A dilated pore of Winer, which is most commonly found on the neck or face, is a benign growth that stems from a single pore. They are mostly found in people who experience cystic acne, and can be likened to super large blackhead. Unlike your common blackhead, 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.

A pore of Winer is filled with keratin and dead skin cells, which is the white substance seen extracted in this Dr. Lee video. It also has an oxidized plug that gives it a distinct black appearance. Pore of Winers can swell and become infected if prodded and picked, often making them more painful than your average blackhead.

Though the title of the video names the skin concern a dilated pore of Winer, Dr. Lee actually opens the video calling that label into question. She says the growth appears to be a cyst that has opened up a pore on the surface of the skin. While compacted material in a single pore creates a dilated pore of Winer, a cyst often occurs deeper in the skin and isn’t isolated to a single pore. But whatever the growth may be, it is certainly satisfying to see its removal.
