Giant Blackhead Extraction: Why Do Some Nose Pores Become So Large?

Large blackheads on the nose are one of the most common skin concerns seen by dermatologists. While many people develop tiny blackheads during adolescence, some pores become extremely enlarged over time and fill with hardened oil, dead skin cells, and keratin.

The image appears to show a large dilated pore containing a long keratin plug, along with several enlarged pores on the nose. Although dramatic in appearance, this type of blockage is often treatable by a qualified dermatologist or skincare professional.

What Is a Blackhead?

A blackhead (also called an open comedone) forms when a pore becomes blocked with:

• Dead skin cells
• Keratin
• Tiny amounts of bacteria
