In the last 5 years (I'm 67 now), I've had problems with little, white pustules. They do not seem to contain pus or liquid but are hard, little, beady things. What could they be?

It sounds like you are describing milia, which are small (1-2 mm), white papule. Milia are tiny, harmless cysts. They develop when a protein called keratin gets trapped under the outer layer of the skin. In adults, sun damage can cause milia. If you want them removed, see a dermatologist. Never try to remove them on your own.
