Hello
It seems from the history that you are having pigmentation of the white part of the eye called as conjunctiva.
These dark spots can be because of nevus.
Most of the nevus won't progress or does not lead to any problem. Hence no need to worry.
Hence I advice you to consult your doctor for examination and to confirm the diagnosis.

Thank you
