It can be conjunctival pigmentation.

Detailed Answer:
Hello
Welcome to Health care magic.

I am Dr. Dadapeer K, an ophthalmologist and I answer health problems related to eye.

I reviewed your history.
It seems from the history that you are having brown spots inside the eyelids.
From the history they appear like conjunctival pigmentation.
Conjunctival pigmentation is a benign condition and no treatment is required for this condition.

However examination is required for confirmation of diagnosis
If possible do send a photo so that I can have a look at this condition.

Hope this is helpful to you.
Do write back to me for further questions.

Thank you
With regards
Dr. Dadapeer K
