Impossible Whitehead?

Hi! I decided to make an account on this website because I've been scouring the Internet to no avail. I'm 18 years old and I've had moderate acne since I was about 13. My skin has been extremely oily all my life. I'm currently on Lo-Ogestrel to help with my acne. I've had this whitehead for YEARS. It's looks like a normal whitehead except it's hard and unpoppable. It's under my eye on my eye socket bone. I've tried popping it but it never pops. It's also extremely painful to try and pop because it's directly on the bone. I've used acne creams and I've tried exfoliating. Nothing works! It's never raised any red flags (never been painful, itchy, or inflamed). Is this whitehead going to go away or is this a permanent "friend" on my face? Has anyone else had something like this? Any response would be helpful!

is it milia? i have never had it but i've seen pictures and read about it. it's not uncommon for them to occur near the eye area and it's like a hard white ball under the skin. you should ask your dermatologist about it and maybe she can extract it
