    small pores on skin where hair emerges

    Follicular openings are the small pores on the skin's surface from which hair grows. Each opening is the visible part of a hair follicle, which is a tiny organ beneath the skin responsible for producing hair. These openings also play a role in the secretion of sebum, an oily substance that helps keep the skin and hair moisturized.
