A member asked:

I wanted to know when you pop a zit (white head) or milk a cyst, what is the fluid that comes out made up of?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Pimple, cyst: Popping and expressing a white head will produce hardened oil. You may get the same from a non-infected sebaceous cyst (the most common) but on occasion one may find hair, fat, even teeth (dermoid cyst).
