okay, so...sometimes, i get these pimples underneath my skin. this usually occurs on my forehead, on the side of my nose, and ive even once gotten two in my nose (but close to the outside of it). theyre not red, and theyre usually pretty painful. so, when i go to pop them (yes, i know. never pop pimples. but these are so much fun to pop), if im sucessful (that is, if the puss is definitely dried out), then this little ball of dried puss kinda pops out from underneath. then, since that ball was underneath my skin..a little hole replaces the puss ball until it heals itself. does anyone know what this is called and if anyone of you guys have had it?

Oh I have had it.
I believe its just a immature pimple. You've just probably fiddled with it and poked at it so much that the top skin came off and when you finally popped it, because it is immature, a little dent is made.
Every time I see a bump, I have to poke, scratched, whatever, until it bleeds and I popped it. I have that weird addiction.

One on my back. My doctor told me it was like some hair that wasn't coming up through my skin. What an idiot, haha.

i don't think it's pus. more like.. the dried oils and skin cells from your skin? it's pretty normal. and that hole is your pore or something.

If this dried out pus you are speaking of is hard, than it may not be a pimple. this might be milia. I had one on my forehead that started off how you describe, but it ended up popping through the surface and sitting as a white ball type thing. I cut it open and took it out and it healed. Milia is from calcium build up, or at least that is what i read.
