A member asked:
My husband has small holes in his back (about the size of a large open pore) that fill with dead skin. what is the best way to take care of them? could they be a symptom of something more serious?

This is more of a cosmetic issue rather than a health problem. The goal is to remove excess oil and debris by a warm wash cloth followed by application of something like witch hazel which is a good astringent. A dermatologist could advise you further.
