Answer:

The white stuff that comes out of your pores like thin strings when you squeeze your nose is called a sebaceous filament. it's mostly made up of sebum (oil that your skin produces) and dead skin cells.

This substance typically collects in pores around your nose and chin. That's because the pores here tend to be bigger, and the oil remains in the pore lining until you squeeze them.
