i get these pimples underneath my skin.., and when i get them out, a tiny ball of dried puss comes out. Options

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?

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.
