Brown spot/ nevus on my lower eyelid.

Hi, on October 6th I suddenly realized that I have this light brown spot on the lower rim of my eye. It looks like a freckle, also due to its size, but by taking pictures with the flash up close you can see that there are various purple dots scattered inside it. Those days appeared to me when I remember a lint from the sweater had gotten into my eye and I was trying to remove it with my fingers, I also remember "hurting myself" and feeling pain from my nails. If it was a broken capillary under the skin, is it normal that it's still there after 2 months? If it were a new mole how likely is it to be malignant? I am 30 years old and I am a woman.
Thank you and sorry for my english.

  1. I am so sorry you are dealing with this. I know how stressful it can be to notice a new spot or mole.
    While we can't diagnose, we can tell you what we know from our own experiences. I would suggest you check either with a dermatologist or your eye doctor. Either one should be able to tell you more or refer you to someone who can diagnose.


    I am glad you are being diligent and keeping track of changes in your skin, especially in difficult places like this.
