I have this thing on my wrist, it is about the size of a large pimple. it is a little darker than skin color and when i squeeze it white "puss" comes out. does anyone know what this is? I've had it for a while now, it nevers hurts. I guess i just REALLY noticed it a few weeks ago.

Sounds like it could be a boil.
Pus is ALWAYS a sign of an infection as it is made up of dead white blood cells, the warrior cells sent to fight infection.
Infection generally creates heat and some discomfort but in later stages can be painless. Even painless infection is not a good state of affairs and I would recommend that you just have it looked at to be sure.
It may be nothing which some cleaning out won't sort (and sorted it must be!) but then again- you are not clear how you got it and it has been there a while... Better safe than sorry!

Sounds like a dead wart. I got mine frozen off at the doctor, and it swelled up and turned black/red. After a few weeks, i squeezed all the pus out of it. It was awesome (it's a guy thing!)

not really sure but I would try putting some anti-biotic creme on it -keep it clean and dry and dont mess with it too much--if it doesnt soon heal -gotta haul yourself in to the doc.

Could be an ingrown hair, sometimes they hurt, sometimes they don't. You should have your doctor look at it.
