A member asked:
My optometrist said i have a small movable clumped pigment on my conjunctiva. i'll see an ophthalmologist on friday for evaluation. i'm very worried. what could this be other than cancer? i was recently treated for inflammation which has resolved?

Could just be a conjunctival nevus which would be benign, have the ophthalmologist look at it and if there is a doubt the it will be biopsied.
