What Does White And Gray Bump Oozing Sand Like Thing On Chest Mean?

I have had a white/grey bump on my chest for over 6 months and it wont go away at first I thought it was a ingrown hair but I tryed to pop it and it had a little white ball like a piece of hard sand. I poped it months ago and have tryed sense but there is no more ball type thing.

Hi,Dear,Welcome with your query to HCM.
Studied your query in full depth of its details.Reviewed it in context of your health concerns.
Based On the facts, You mostly seem to suffer from-Sebaceous Cysts on your chest,which was mismanaged by unskilled poping by you.The sand like white balls you got was cheesy material which comes out of the Sebaceous Cysts.
I would suggest Excision of this Sebaceous Cyst by a Surgeon.
Hope that ,This reply would help you to plan further treatment soon with your treating doctors.Best of Luck and early recovery.
Welcome any further query in this regard,which would be replied in next
session.
