What Causes Small Hard White Lesions On Caruncle?

Hi. I have an eye related question. About a month after I started wearing contacts I noticed a small hard white lesion on my caruncle. It has been there for two years now and when I go in for my annual eye exams, the doctor seems unconcerned. It has never grown or changed and it does not hurt or itch, it s just there. I guess I just want to make sure I am not ignoring something I should be removing.
