A black spot just appeared near the corner of my eye, on the side of my nose, and it's about the size of a big drop. I only noticed it when I woke up this morning. It's not itchy, and it doesn't feel like dry skin. I'm starting to get a bit worried. What might be causing this, and what tests should I consider getting done?

The sudden appearance of a non-itchy, non-dry black spot under the eye, near the nose, could be due to various causes such as a benign skin lesion (melanocytic nevus), allergic reaction, or vascular-related issues (hematoma or vascular malformation); consult a dermatologist

The best cream for skin lightening and addressing various skin problems is hydroquinone cream. You can use a cream containing 4% hydroquinone once daily at night.
