this sounds gross but when you pop a pimple and all that comes out is little hard strings of white, not liquid or pus, what is that?
And if I squeeze random parts of my nose all these white strings start popping up.

a] a whitehead - mix of oil and sebum [ wax produced by skin ] blocked under the skin
b] blocked pores - if they are black 'strings', they are blackheads [ just means dirt on top of whiteheads ]
Scrub your face twice a day with cleanser for your skin type
[ oily, sensitive, combination ] and exfoliate with Aapri or St. Ives apricot scrub 2 - 3 times a week.

Whitehead/blackhead.
Blackheads, also known as open comedones, are follicles that have a wider than normal opening. They are filled with plugs of sebum and sloughed off cells and have undergone a chemical reaction resulting in the oxidation of melanin. This gives the material in the follicle the typical black color.
Whiteheads, also known as closed comedones, are follicles that are filled with the same material, but have only a microscopic opening to the skin surface. Since the air cannot reach the follicle, the material is not oxidized, and remains white.
OK, OK this was a cut & paste job but I thought it was good info.

Every single person has those pimples, especially teenage. And popping them is normal thing to do, i do pop them myself. It will not cause any damage, however you might have red spot on that pimple place for few minutes and don't over-pop them. if nothing coming off the pimple don't "murder" it, or you might make a damage to your skin and have some sort of scar.
Well, the only person that does not have those dots and white things is probably M.Jackson.. eww :(

I would have to say no. I don't think that's a pimple. It might be something minor and you don't have to worry, but if it worsens and starts hurting or something you should see your doctor to make sure it's not major.

I think that is just stuff coming out of your pores. I wouldn't exactly call them blackheads.
