What Causes White Pockets Filled With Fluid Below The Stomach Surface?
My cousin said he has white pockets below the surface of his stomach. One pocket came to the surface and he squeezed it and white liquid not puss white and little hard stones all white he could smash the stones between his finger nails and it was like a white powder substance. Another one came to the surface and the same thing he squeezed it the holes are about an inch and one half apart he used a syringe with water and put it in one hole and it came out the other hole and more pockets are coming to the surface what do you think?

Hi,
Thanks for writing to us.
From the description provided, probably your cousin could be having comedones. Comedones are formed due to blockade of pilosebaceous follicle. Multiple comedones over body surface area could occur in a setting if somebody is having severe acne like acne conglobata or a condition known as hidradenitis suppuritiva. These are just differentials, the definite cause can only be ruled out by examining the lesions.
Ask your cousin to meet a dermatologist nearby.
Take care
