Dr. Pimple Popper's 10 Gnarliest Dilated Pore of Winer Videos
What's better than a juicy blackhead? A juicy dilated pore of Winer, baby.
Dilated pores of Winer-also known as DPOWs-don't crop up often on Dr. Pimple Popper's social media accounts, but when they do, they're mighty satisfying! Picture a blackhead, but way bigger, deeper, and more pus-filled.
What is a dilated pore of Winer, exactly?
Basically, it's a really big blackhead.
Lee gave a helpful explanation in the caption of a 2016 YouTube video called "Blackhead Field of Dreams: Supercomedones & Dilated Pores of Winer." Here's what it says:
"A Dilated pore of Winer is essentially a large, solitary open comedone/blackhead. Dead skin cells get trapped and help widen this pore, and plugs up the opening. The expression of this plug squeezes out the macerated, white, soggy keratin/skin cells from the deeper portion of the pore. Once the content of the dilated pore is expressed, this whole process of the dilated pore filling once again with keratin is common. They are completely benign and are usually expressed for cosmetic reasons. A comedone extractor can be used to do this."
And why the name "Winer"? That's because the skin condition was first described in 1954 by a doctor named Louis H. Winer, according to a paper published in StatPearls. Winer was also a founding member of the American Academy of Dermatology.
