Enlarged pore: What you are describing sounds like an enlarged pore. Pores are a normal part of the skin, but if they become blocked or partially blocked, they can become enlarged. If it is not red, tender, or swollen, leave it alone, just be sure to wash your face well daily. If it becomes tender, you may try applying warm compresses.
