    Glossaryfollicular openings (Pores)

    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.
