Freckle likely: Most commonly this would be a "freckle".  Because this is non specific it is best to see your ophthalmologist eye surgeon for a close examination to be sure. Size, color, location, stability are all factors that can indicate the type of lesion.

Depends: If the gray spot is on the white of the eye about half way from the colored part (iris) to the inner corner, it could just be thinning of the white part (sclera) due to age.  It is not serious and wil not cause any problem.  To answer your question better, i really need to know exactly where the gray spot is.

Question 9

Can be normal: Darker-skinned people often have areas of pigmentation on their conjunctiva (clear vascular layer over the white).  This is normal.  You may also have a benign area of degeneration called a pinguecula, which can be caused by sun, dust, and wind.  Malignant brown spots on the white of the eye are rare and are usually found in patients much older than you, but if in doubt, get it checked out.

Question 10

i have brown spot in  the white part of my eye , i had it for 2 years now and it starting to itch?

Accepted Answer

Benign nevus: Brown pigmentation deposits on the white of the eye (actually in the conjunctival lining over the white of the eye) are common, especially in pigmented races.  Is this spot the same size over the two years you have noticed it?  There are many reasons for eye itching and misbehaving spots are usually not the cause.  See if it is present on an old picture.  And then see your ophthalmologist.
