Hole in my face...
I call it a pock mark, but it was not chickenpox that caused it. It started looking like a white head but I had to go to the dermatologist to have it cut out. now I have a hole. Is there any way to make it smaller or completely get rid of it?

Hello,
From the symptoms it can be sebaceous cyst. Blocked sebaceous glands, swollen hair follicles and excessive testosterone production will cause such cysts.
Generally no treatment is required but they become painful then it means they are infected, then surgical excision by traditional wide excision, minimal excision, and punch biopsy excision may be required.
I hope it helps. Take care and regards.
