Dust spots

Dust spots.
When I use my Canons kit lens (EFS 18-55mm) I always end up with at lease one spot.
The spot does not show with my other lens. I use one of those Rocket blowers on it and the lens glass is clean. But still that one spot is always there. The sensor has been cleaned and the shutter, inside of the camera appears clean.
The camera is more then 10 years old and has about 100,000 miles on it (4 trips to the Philippines). So maybe time for a new lens or send the kit lens in for a complete cleaning by Canon?
Thank you

My guess, and I'm no expert, but perhaps you have missed a speck of schmutz on the rear element of that lens. The front element, as pointed out, is much more forgiving.

If you can see dust spot in the images it is almost always dust on the sensor. Dust on the front of the lens usually does not impact the image quality unless it is really bad, so bad you can see it from across the room.

Some lenses can get dust inside them and need to be cleaned by the pros.
