What is a pore of winer?
A dilated pore of winer is a non-cancerous tumor of a hair follicle or sweat gland in the skin.
It looks like a large blackhead, but is a different kind of skin lesion, and is trapped under the skin with dirt and debris.
And if you’re wondering how it got its name, Dr Louis H Winer first described the skin pore in 1954, which is where ‘winer’ comes from.
The skin tumor usually affects older adults, according to Heathline.
