I have a small white dot on the iris of my left eye super irritating. what could it be? i wear contact 24/7.

Get the contact out!: This is a pseudomonas corneal ulcer until proven otherwise. See your ophthalmologist ASAP. Go to ER if you can't get an appointment. Take your contact lens out and place it in a clean container in some sterile saline or freshly boiled and cooled water. Take it with you to see the doctor for culture. This is an emergency. Never sleep in your contacts!!
