My dear,
Thanks for sending your query to us.
What we have to know is the duration of this spot.How long has it been there.If it has been there for a long time meaning since teens then it is more likely to be a mole or conjunctival melanosis which are asymptotic and do not need any treatment.
If of a recent origin the it has to be watched and progress monitored preferably by dated photographs.
Get back to me with more information and photographs if possible.
