Hi,

This could be a large comedone , a pilar sheath acanthoma, trichofolliculoma, or dilated pore of winer. Are there other signs or symptoms present? How old are you? It is important to have it evaluated by a dermatologist since difference is usually identified through histological means. a complete clinical evaluation must be done to arrive a clear diagnosis.

Take care and regards.

I am a 33 year old white female. There are no other symptoms present and this is the only one that I have. It seems to have become more visible lately. Not sure if the type of makeup I'm using is making it more apparent to see. It is a hole in my face the size of a pin hole with no discharge.
