I looked up Pinguecula and the pictures there dont look like whats on my eye, My eye is just simply yellow in that area and pinguecula is caused by exsess fat but I always work out and I only have 5% body fat so Im not sure if it is that. Thank you for your help Mr.John C Hagan

Way too dark  to tell. Most common thing is "pinguecula"   Use google images to see what they look like
