Hello, These could be Acne. It is skin condition associated sebaceous gland. The white matter is in fact infected sebaceous secretions. Acne is common on face, back, buttocks, and chest. They are most common during adolescence, and frequently continue into adulthood. Scrub your back well while taking bath. You can apply any antibiotic cream (erythromycin). Take care.

i noticed a large hard ball on my shoulder about a year ago, so I squeezed it. White solid to mushy like substance came out...it smelled horrible. I thought it was emptied out. I then used alcohol to clean it. It came back over time, every time. about a couple of weeks ago I went at it again. There are now three pinhole penetrations in the skin. This last time I made a poultice with peroxide...it left a raw section of skin about the size of a quarter. I then bandaged it with some poly sporran. The skin healed over and I thought I got it. This morning i noticed i felt to small hard bumps in the same area...i squeezed it again and the white substance came out again...it is like it is coming from inside the muscle....when i put the peroxide to it...it is white around those three pinholes i mentioned earlier...so i have a poultice on it again to try and suck out any bad stuff remaining...Any ideas what is going on here....is it a boil or something...its definitely different than a pimple

It's a sebaceous cyst. Only way to prevent it from coming back is by having a surgeon or dermatologist remove it.
