Okay so I get these weird zits. They're usually below the skin, or just above, and often completely invisible and they don't have a 'head' of puss. They're sore like a cyst. But if I squeeze around the area, stuff comes out. By stuff I mean hard tubular-shaped, skin-colored things. They're like kernels under the skin, with a little bit of thick puss on the end.But they're always hard like a kernel of corn. You physically can't see the gunk like you can with a blackhead, and when I do squeeze and the gunk comes shooting out (literally), it's never dark like a blackhead either.
Does anyone know what this is called? How can I stop getting them? I get them everywhere on my face, and under my breasts and sometimes my pubic area (although it's attached to a hair in that area). I hardly ever get zits that are 'normal' and have puss on the top. Sometimes these come to the surface as zits, but don't have the normal puss sitting on top, just the hidden gunk. Thank you for your help!
Ps. Sorry if any of this is gross. I would post pictures (even more gross) but I don't have a camera that would show it well.

Try exfoliating your skin. It's clogged pores.
