It ain't a pimple. Trust me, I had the same thing happen and it turned out to be a benign cyst. I had it removed and the scar is almost invisable. The Doc told me that if I had left it alone for a few more months, it could have gotten infected or eventually turn cancerous and been real trouble. I'm glad I had it removed!
Make an appointment and be sure to tell the doc how long it has been there.

Dry and/or greasy skin due to poor oil composition of the skin. Thick greasy oils clog pores, lack of oil leads to dryness and irritation. You need thin oils to moisturize while dissolving and clearing gunk in your poors. Try fish oil or seafood. 2 tsp fish oil a day or 4 servings of seafood a week. Stick it out for at least 2 months; it will take a long time to replace all your oil. Any effect after 1-2 days is temporary or random; so even if it makes you break out a little at first, you haven't given it a full try yet.
In the short term you can wash and moisturize well, but that will only go so far. Plus excessive washing can be drying and excessive moisturizing can be clogging. Use a small amount of a light moisturizer, made with oil not jelly or grease. Often that means soybean oil or mineral oil. Mineral oil means mined from the ground. So soybean oil is usually better, though mineral oil won't cause too much harm. Clean with soap and water, not a harsh acne cleanser. Even then they only work so well. So you really need the seafood.
Antibiotics aren't really good for bacteria long term, they'll come back in force after. Short term they may help. After you get off them find some kefir with acidophilus listed first or 2nd to replace the friendly bacteria they destroyed. Studies show less illness when you have these bacteria, even outside the stomach in places such as the lungs and elsewhere. You want friendly bacteria to fill the void when the antibiotics stop, not harmful ones.
In the short term you might also try 100,000+ iu retinol vitamin A (a megadose, and too much for normal use) or one of the acne drugs that is similar to retinol vitamin A. It's some minor harm to your organs, but it helps against bacteria on your skin. At least it doesn't have the other long term drawbacks to your skin that antibiotics and many scrubs do.
If you would like to learn how to treat your acne permanently and regain your health and wellbeing, without drugs, without typical acne treatments, and without any side effects, then this will be the most important letter you will ever read.

After two years it is called a sebaceous Cyst,
It will need to be lanced and drained.
You can try this home remedy first and it may put a head on it then you can get all the gunk out.
get a washcloth a bowl of hot water and a can of salt
mix as much salt in the water as it will take
soak wash cloth in it
place cloth on cyst and keep replacing when it cools.
make water as warm as you can stand.
usually after a few hours a head will appear .pop as you would any white head.
you may need to repeat this over many days.

go to a dermatologist and get it looked at, no pimple should be there for 2 years. I had a customer who had one on her chin for 6 months and it turned out to be a cancerous spot that required removal

Toothpaste works but you need the gel kind put it on your face then take a dab of water and lightly rub it in and you should feel a little sting that means it's working it usually dries it out but the most effective way for me is clean and clear astringent it's pink and I use it daily on my face and it keeps the break outs away and works good for on the spot treatments.

i would recommend going to a dermatologist to get it checked out to make sure it's no something serious. Two years is a long time just for a pimple.

Sounds like something I had once and the doctor had to cut it open and remove it.
