It’s not a spot.

it’s a small hard mass under the skin. It’s attached to the flesh under it. It doesn’t hurt.

Milia?
Cyst?

Can it be easily removed?

Probably just make an incision and pop/squeeze it out

I would stab that with my pointy tweezers then squeeze.

Milia

Had one like that under my eye. It was there for months and months. One day I really went to town on it with a warm flannel and it did eventually pop. It was a solid white ball of something. Didn't bleed. Not pus. No splat. I had a tiny hole in my skin for a while but eventually it healed.

Looks like milia.

Probably not advisable but I get them, sterilize a needle, nick the top skin and then use an extractor to pop the delicious little white pearls out.
