Is the dust on the lens glass or actually inside the lens?

I have the same question and mine is on the inside of the lens

It's inside the lens

Well, to tell you the truth, I don't know. This is a tricky one. Try zooming in and out as fast as possible while shaking the camera to try loosening the dirt. If you have access to an air compressor, blow the lens out around the outside.

Dust rarely affects photos - if it does, it’s minor. In addition, you’re risking the entire camera over a little bit of dust.

You’re better off living with scratches and internal dust, rather then trying to fix it and risk ruining the lens and needing to replace the lens - or potentially the camera. With dust it doesn't affect resale as it's a common non-issue, but scratches that affect little to none of the final photo mean you can get a good deal on a nice lens or camera if you're able to test it and make sure it's not in a high impact area.

Never use cotton balls on a lens! Lenses are extremely fragile, so you must think of something like cotton balls like fine grit steel wool. Canned air is fine as long as the gas liquid does not settle on the elements.
