it appears the dot is on cornea.again you have said it is sticky and looks red. to know the exact location it is to be examined in slit lamp by eye doctor one it can be in cornea aforgein body stuck and gone out causing infection. it requires anti biotic 6hourly and warm phomantation. if its in pupil then it can only uveitis making some deposit and in the process of forming occlusio pupil. so get it examined by eye doctor and diagnosis can be confirmed.
