Huge Blackhead, Big Open Cyst, or a Nice Dilated Pore of Winer? What's your guess?

An epidermoid cyst (Epidermal Inclusion cyst, Infundibular cyst), is a benign growth commonly found in the skin and typically appears on the face, neck or trunk, but can occur anywhere on the body. Another name used is “sebacous cyst” but this is actually an antiquated misnomer, and is not a term used by dermatologists. They are also the most common type of cutaneous cysts. Epidermoid cysts result from the reproduction of epidermal cells within a confined space of the dermis. The pasty contents are mostly composed of macerated keratin (wet skin cells), which creates this “cheesy” consistency, and there can be a pungent odor. An epidermoid cyst may have no symptoms and are typically harmless. Usually people seek removal but they don’t like the appearance of these bumps, or the cyst has ruptured or been inflamed or “infected” in the past. Rupture is associated with sudden redness, pan, swelling, and local heat, and can lead to abscess formation. Also, a history of inflammation, often increases scar tissue in the area, makes the cyst more firmly adherent to surrounding skin, and makes it more difficult to remove. Surgical excision is curative, but the complete cyst removal including the entire cyst sac and contents need to be removed to ensure that the cyst won’t reoccur. 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. Subscribe to my Dermatology educational channel, Dr Pimple Popper University!

1. dude has a sweet ponytail!
2. That's winner💙💙💙💙💙
3. Wow, this makes me wonder what I come across once when I worked in nursing homes for the elderly.
   I was getting a lady ready for the day who had dementia (very late stage, she could not walk or talk and needed complete care). As I was washing her, I noticed under her armpit a very, very big lump, with a black part in the middle.
   I was surprised no other carer had noticed it, as it must of been there for years. I called the nurse, and I asked what to do. We both cleaned the area, and pressed it out.
   The amount of thick, cottage cheese like substance that come out was unbelievable. I have never seen something like it in my life, until this video. The amount that came out, and for how long, was unreal.
4. question for Dr.Lee,does the disease CF have any effect on pimples? my oldest has CF and all his black heads are massive and even spots you think are just pimples turn out to be small cysts. I know that CF makes all your body secretions super thick. I have another CF kid who's about to hit puberty and would like to know how to go about battling this.
