I Have a Disgusting Enlarged Pore on Upper Lip. What Can I Do? (photo)

It has been w/me for years, used to be much smaller, almost unnoticeable, I would squeeze it once a month maybe, white stringy stuff would come out and it would be almost non existent again. As I have gotten older, first noticed in early 20's now am 43, it has become this huge gaping pore on my top lip,until a few months ago I could still extract it,now its enormous & it wont go away at all.

Large Pore

Hello, in reviewing your photo this appears to be an inclusion cyst. This cyst needs to be surgically excised. You should schedule an appointment with a Board Certified Facial Plastic Surgeon. Being that the cyst is on your face and so close to your lip it needs to be excised correctly. Best of luck to you.
