What is the phobia called when you have a fear of holes?

I have a very serious phobia of holes. Like sponges, clothes, for a few years I was disgusted with myself because our skin has pores. (Luckily I’m over that one) I know it’s weird but I haven’t been able to find out what the name of it is, if it even exists. It’s bugging me that I don’t know what to call it.
I think there’s bugs in them or something. I’m not scared of germs but I think that there’s some creature in one of the holes trying to come out when I’m not looking. Like with a sponge, it’s popping out the other side trying to get on me. OBV. I know there isn’t, it just really freaks me out.
And I have looked on a phobia list. All I can find is the fear of “holy” objects and places.
