Openings in dermatology (5)
I believe the answer is:
pores
'openings' is the definition.
(I know this)
I don't understand how the remainder of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for pores that I've seen before include "Small openings in the skin" , "Tiny holes in the skin" , "Ropes with small holes" , "Minute openings in the skin" .)
