pomegranate bush

What is the bug that gets into the blossom end of pomegranates? It looks like it might be mealybug or aphids and what can I do to the plant to not get have this problem when we get fruit next year? I don’t have a photo to show you.

It could be Whitefly, Scale or Mealybugs.
Neem Oil is a good treatment for either of these pests.
