HI jay,I did surgery to remove a pigment that was on the conjunctiva of the eye, however you don't have to do anything about it because it is not worth the time ,money,and discomfort in my opinion.Dr. brian boxer wachler have a new procedure that he call i-brite maybe you can try it.

Assuming that has been there for many years and has not changes its likely a conjunctiva nevus (like a freckle) they are very common in black races and rarely cause any problems. It is not likely you will find any eye surgeon that will remove it for cosmetic reasons. The scar from removal could be more of a problem than the freckle
