Brown spot on eye

I just noticed this a day ago, a brown spot on my sclera right next to my pupil/cornea. I was wondering if I should be worried about this, or if its just a freckle. On the image its on the left side of my pupil/cornea, its small and brown.

clarification: even if the lesion increased in size and shape it does not mean it is malignant.

If it was a problem, and as I said that is very very rare, the lesion would increase in size and shape.

The photo is blurry and cannot be used for a diagnosis but it is most likely this is a simple conjunctival limbal freckle. Rarely are these a problem but see an Eye MD ophthalmologist for a real life exam.
