मेरी आँख के सफेद हिस्से पर हल्के भूरे/पीले रंग का जो निशान है, वो क्यों बढ़ रहा है?
मेरी आँख के सफेद हिस्से (स्क्लेरा) पर हल्के भूरे/पीले रंग का एक पैच दिखा है, जो रंगीन हिस्से (आईरिस) के पास है। यह सपाट है और उभरे हुए धब्बे की बजाय छोटे रंग परिवर्तन जैसा दिखता है। मैंने इसे पहली बार [जब मैं बच्चा था] देखा था। मुझे दर्द, लालिमा, खुजली, पानी आना, डिस्चार्ज, धुंधला दिखना, रोशनी से संवेदनशीलता, या जलन जैसे लक्षण नहीं हैं। लेकिन यह बड़ा हो रहा है और रंग गहरा हो रहा है। मैं 17 साल का हूँ और मुझे देखने में कोई परेशानी नहीं है और मैं कोई कॉन्टैक्ट लेंस नहीं पहनता।

Doctors' responses
A light brown or yellowish patch on the sclera could potentially be a condition called a conjunctival nevus or, if it seems more yellow, it could be a pinguecula. Both conditions are relatively common and typically benign. A conjunctival nevus is essentially a mole on the eye, which can darken or change slightly over time especially during adolescence due to hormonal changes. Meanwhile, a pinguecula is a deposit of fat or protein and is more common in people who spend significant time in the sun. Even though you don’t have symptoms like pain or vision changes, any enlarging or changing spot on the eye should be evaluated by an ophthalmologist. They will be able to provide a definitive diagnosis and determine if any treatment is necessary, although often these conditions don’t require intervention unless they cause symptoms or significant cosmetic concern. It’s important to note that in some rare cases, changes in pigmentation or growth could be concerning, so regular monitoring is crucial. For now, wearing UV-protective sunglasses can help mitigate further risk to your eyes from sun exposure. Given that the spot is increasing in size and darkening, it’s advisable not to delay in seeking an evaluation, just to be sure everything is okay. Always prioritize an expert review when any changes occur in the eyes.
