How To Get Rid Of Large Deep Pore On Chest?
I have a large deep pore on my chest right where my clavicle and ribs meet. I have had it for as long as I can remember. When I was little it would get infected with green puss and would hurt badly. It still gets infected at least once a month and produces white puss. What is this and what can I do to get rid of it?
