Brief Answer:
Blackhead
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Based on your description, I suspect it to be a blackhead.
Since there was no bleed, which indicates that the lesion is in superficial skin where the sebaceous glands are abundant.
The sebum when collected in relatively large quantities and gets oxidized gives a stony hard consistency with black color.
There is no need to worry, as it has been expressed out.
Hope, I answered your query. Please do ask if any doubts.
Regards
