A short video has gone viral after showing a massive blackhead being removed from someone’s skin — leaving behind what looks like a deep hole. The clip, only 28 seconds long, has fascinated and shocked viewers worldwide.
Dermatologists explain that large blackheads, also called dilated pores of Winer, can sometimes leave visible indentations after extraction. “When a blackhead forms deep in the pore and stays for a long time, it stretches the skin,” experts say. Once removed, the area may appear as a small pit or hole until the skin begins to heal.
Skin specialists warn against squeezing or picking blackheads at home. Doing so can “damage tissue, cause scarring, and make pores look larger.” Instead, they recommend gentle exfoliation, pore-clearing masks, or professional removal.
Despite the warnings, the video’s shocking before-and-after moment has captured millions of views. Many users commented that it was both “gross and satisfying” to watch — a mix of fascination and disbelief that something so small could leave such a big mark.
