Hello,
As from your history you are complaining a white growth nearing the black part of the eye.
The black part which you are referring is cornea and probably the growth which is approaching the cornea is pterygium. There is no medical treatment for pterygium and medical treatment is limited to treat some complications of pterygium like inflammed pterygium.
The treatment for pterygium is mainly by surgical treatment. The commonly done surgery is pterygium excision with conjunctival graft.
kindly do consult your eye doctor for examination and treatment accordingly.
Thank you
