Skin Bumps with hard white centers?

[Dilara]

I have scoured the internet, but cannot find anything to what I'm experiencing. I get hard bumps (pimple like) on my face, bikini line, buttocks, underarms, that are only rarely red, but if i don't touch them they'll remain there forever. Why? Because they have a hard, white content that I must actually use tweezers to excise. They will not go away any other way. The white mass resembles milia, but milia are free floating, whereas these are attached . It leaves behind a small crater until it heals, but once removed, the bump finally goes away. There is no pus or fluid associated with them either. The ones that appear everywhere else except for my face, usually have a trapped hair. I don't take any medications or oral contraceptives, but when I approached one derm, she looked at me like i was nuts, and the other said it was acne. I've never heard of acne being just a bump without any inflammation and containing a hard white center that you need to literally pluck out. Please help! There must be someone else who has or knows of this.

have you had any luck finding any more info? These sound like what my daughter has too, they started on her bum cheek & are slowly multiplying (over the last year...) they are whitish opaque & when I pop them a big white ball comes out that if looked at super closeley & slitely squished looks like califlower... gross I know but I have been trying to figure out what they are. also they do seem to be affected by heat, a warm bath, or just a super hot summer day seems to make them get really red & burst with a puss-y filling. would be interested to know if this sounds like yours & if you have had any diagnosis?

it sounds like ingrown hair. if you can see hair, it is definately an ingrown hair.

i have the identical problem it started on my forearm and now has spread to my thighs buttocks neck and face they start as a small red blotchy mark that has a small head of puss that is easily removed but then the mark does not heal and scabs over when i remove the scab a white piece can be seen and although attached can be removed with tweezers which causes the wound to bleed alot if however the white thing is not removed it sinks back into the skin and will only reappear when the scab dries up and brings it back to the surface of the skin
occasionally if the wound heels many months later a white bump can be felt under the skin which if the skin is pricked with a pin and squeezed a hard white ball pops out unattached
i have suffered from this for the last 4 years and have experienced it on my face for the last 2 years which gets me down if anyone has any treatment or advice or has suffered from these symptons please post on here thanks

i have the same exact problem/any news as to what they are?

I have the exact same thing as previous posters. I get these big bumps that sometimes appear a little red, but mostly white. I have to prick a whole into them and try to grab the hard, rubbery white thing and pull it out with tweezers. Sometimes I can get it and sometimes I can. Those little buggers are attached to the follicle or something. The only difference is mine appear on my bikini line, around my breasts and chest. They don't have a hair in them and bleed A LOT when I put out the hard, white substance. There is no rhyme or reason to them. I've had this issue for about 5 years now. I hope someone can figure out what they are.

Thanks

So I first got a few of these "pimples" with the little white seed thingy in the middle and once removed it bled quite a bit for a few minutes on the inside of my thighs and then on my lower abdomen and now my hand. I was concerned it was an std or something of the sort but I have only been with one woman for quite awhile whom does not have these things. I will say I'm super happy I found this forum because I was freaking out!! What they heck causes these and should we be alarmed??

I have the exact same thing as what people have here, this was the second time i have googled the symptoms and found this thread.

With a Dr would comment on what it could be.

um, i have this problem too =\
all over my body even on my back. and near my chest area. and now there are giant skin balls? on my skin =\. and theres nothing inside of it.. just a white giant bubble. but on my arm theres tons and tons of these.
and doctors seem to not know what it is =\
but recently all of the bumps in my skin are clearing up
this might help,
i installed a soft water system all around the house. and after 3 months of using the soft water system, my arm has less of those bumps and scars are removing and it is slowly becoming smooth again.
