See a dermatologist : If this spot is new or has changed in character, it needs to be evaluated and possibly biopsied. See a dermatologist as the area on the side of your nose around your eyes is a common one for skin cancer.

Spot: Could be a pingueculum or a pterygium, both evidence of sun or wind damage to the white part of the eye. This causes a raised whitish or clear area bordering the cornea. Wear sunglasses to prevent this from worsening.
