According to webmd you have cancer
Well it's safe to say - a lot of people pop pimples and squeeze out blackheads!!
I have actually always squeezed out my blackheads and never had a bad experience. If it helps, I use a hot compress to sort of warm the skin. I make sure I wipe the skin clean. You can use your fingers if you're going to use the tips and not the nails. You can even use 2 q-tips. I apply pressure from underneath and basically work it to the surface of the skin. Normally it will be something black but sometimes it's like a white rice grain. Afterwards I clean the area and slap some antibiotic on it for good measure and done.
I do my very best not to break the skin. If the skin needs to be broken to get it out - it isn't ready to be popped. I never have scarring from using this approach.
Now I'm not saying go out and start popping pimples for fun LOL. I guess I'm saying if you have to do it - just plan properly. Plan not to bruise your skin, don't dig and definitely don't pick at it. If it's ready to come out - you won't have to work hard to make it so. And don't forget to sanitize the area and use some antibiotic in case there's risk for infection.
While doing a search for My issue I came up with yours. If you have Rock like substances coming out of your skin... and its NOT a pimple or a black head... It could be from Toxins. (exposure somewhere... somehow...). Chemicals and Toxins can come out of the skin in a hard "rock" subtance form... Anywhere on the body I suppouse...(mine is not on my face.) They would not be Pimples per say... those would be Cysts... Pimples is when you have dirt go in the pore... and then they form... Cysts would be when something is trying to work its way out of the body I would think... But Either way... go check with a doctor... But if its a Rock like and doesn't break up when you use a knife on it... Thats what I am finding when I look. I have never used drugs but was exposed to Toxic chemicals. And I have had them most of my life... Also Rice Sized Rocks... No black... but White and sometimes clear... they also form into small marble shaped balls... No puss or infection... they fill Blood Cysts and when they break the rock come out.
Ii honestly thought there was something seriously wrong with me. I've had two of these so far and it was scaring me so much! I've had one on my shoulder and in the middle of my back, so I googled it to make sure I wasn't like, dying of something.
After it pops, put Neosporin on it. I had one like a decade ago between my boobs(gross, I know but I wasn't sexually active at the time) and it came back twice. First time I popped it, I had a lot of pus come out where it filled up a bit in my bra. I can't believe I'm putting this out there. The third time it came back, I put Neosporin on it and it never came back, but left a small scar. I noticed my 9 year old daughter had something of this sort, that I finally decided to pop and the little black "rock" came out. Now I gotta put Neosporin on it and hope it doesn't come back.
You need to exfoliate. That's what washcloths are for. It also sounds like you are dehydrated.
Hi I know what those are called I had them too , and they suck :( They are called Demodex Mites. They kind look like white long rice , and are rubbery when you can get one out . One of the ways to kill them are Tea tree oil . To keep them from coming back they make A Tea Tree oil Shampoo and Conditioner ( you can find it in the Ethnic hair section in just about any store) Here is a link on how to get rid of them and keep them gone too.
Im not sure how I got mine they just started popping up and it took me forever to figure out what they were. But they are gone and my skin healed up nice :) I hope this helps you. Dont worry there is hope :)
I know this is alot to read but it explains what they are :
Or you can google it
D. folliculorum and D. brevis
Demodex folliculorum and Demodex brevis are typically found on humans. D. folliculorum was first described in 1842 by Simon; D. brevis was identified as separate in 1963 by Akbulatova. D. folliculorum is found in hair follicles, while D. brevis lives in sebaceous glands connected to hair follicles. Both species are primarily found in the face, near the nose, the eyelashes and eyebrows, but also occur elsewhere on the body.
The adult mites are only 0.3–0.4 millimetre (0.012–0.016 in) long, with D. brevis slightly shorter than D. folliculorum.[2] Each has a semitransparent, elongated body that consists of two fused segments. Eight short, segmented legs are attached to the first body segment. The body is covered with scales for anchoring itself in the hair follicle, and the mite has pin-like mouth-parts for eating skin cells and oils (sebum) which accumulate in the hair follicles. The mites can leave the hair follicles and slowly walk around on the skin, at a speed of 8–16 mm per hour, especially at night, as they try to avoid light.[2]
Females of Demodex folliculorum are larger and rounder than males. Both male and female Demodex mites have a genital opening, and fertilization is internal.[3] Mating takes place in the follicle opening, and eggs are laid inside the hair follicles or sebaceous glands. The six-legged larvae hatch after three to four days, and the larvae develop into adults in about seven days. The total lifespan of a Demodex mite is several weeks. The dead mites decompose inside the hair follicles or sebaceous glands. Recent research has indicated that the common skin malady rosacea may be caused by the decomposing mites,[4] possibly due to the bacterium Bacillus oleronius found in their bodies.[5]
Older people are much more likely to carry the mites; about a third of children and young adults, half of adults, and two-thirds of elderly people are estimated to carry the mites.[6] The lower rate of children may be because children produce much less sebum. It is quite easy to look for one's own Demodex mites, by carefully removing an eyelash or eyebrow hair and placing it under a microscope.
The mites are transferred between hosts through contact of hair, eyebrows and of the sebaceous glands on the nose. Different species of animals host different species of Demodex; only one zoonosis of Demodex is known.
In the vast majority of cases, the mites go unobserved, without any adverse symptoms, but in certain cases (usually related to a suppressed immune system, caused by stress or illness) mite populations can dramatically increase, resulting in a condition known as demodicosis or Demodex mite bite, characterised by itching, inflammation and other skin disorders. Blepharitis (inflammation of the eyelids) can also be caused by Demodex mites. Evidence of a correlation between Demodex infection and acne vulgaris exists suggesting it may play a role in promoting acne.

Take care
I think you are talking about blackheads... Right?
And I think, cleaning, exfoliating and moisturizing can help you to get out of the problem of blackheads. Rest see a dermatologist who can exactly see what the problem is..
