Where around your eye? I was wondering because I had one on my eyelid. At first I thought it was a pimple until I realized it seemed to be feeling a bit harder and if it was starting to be ready to come off after I kept rubbing cleansing wipes over it. Then I ended up kust having to lightly scratch it off. Saw it was actually a whitehead and now my eyelid feels smooth again haha.

That could be milia, if it feels harder than a whitehead and feels like it's got more "layers" of skin over it. milia is actually deeper in the skin than a whitehead therefore you can't just squeeze it out. It will disappear by itself (that can take a couple of weeks or months though) or you can get it extracted by a professional. I really don't recommend trying to extract it yourself, I once did that being unaware what it was and it just became a big scab that was sore for over a week.

Sounds like milia. If it's not too close to your actual eye, you can use a GENTLE exfoliant, like a low percantage AHA, but be careful not to get it in your eye. And don't use it too frequently, as the skin there is thin and delicate and doesn't benefit much from exfoliation.
