Spot on baby eye/health anxiety

[cat1654]

Apologies if I ramble. I am feeling pretty scared at the moment. I have always been anxious but it feels a bit out of control just now. My 8 month old has a grey spot on the white of his eye. GP yesterday looked and did the retonoblast test and said he seems fine, probably burst blood vessel and check with optician if still worried. Went to optician who looked and said he couldn't see any concern with it and come back if changed. So I started to relax a bit that 2 health professionals thought was ok. then GP called today and said he would do a referral as although he couldn't think of anything 'he didn't want to miss anything nasty.' So on the one hand I am glad they are being safe but I am also full on panicking that there is something wrong. I just love my kids so much and the fear of something happening to them can be overwhelmed. This isn't the 1st time I have got scared/assumed the worst. I just feel so scared and helpless

Can you take a picture?

I am not sure how to attach picture?

No, I'm not sure either, hopefully someone else can help with that.

When did you first notice the spot? Has it changed? Has he had a sick bug/been ill recently? Are you Caucasian?

Getting anxious over your first child's health is completely normal and is not health anxiety or out of control. You just learn to relax more as you learn what is normal and usual in babies and small children.

Thank you :) I hate feeling this way.
I have just noticed it but it is entirely possible it has been there a while as you can only see it when he looks up land left as that bit of eye normally covered by eyelid.When I saw it I just assumed it was a bit of dust then saw it again later. He has been coughing lot in the last few weeks so burst blood vessel is possible. Yep Caucasian. Optician did think freckle likely or just a slightly thinner bit showing a vein. He does have a couple of small birth marks on his head which he has always had so maybe he has always had this. I just don't want to torture myself until the referral appointment

Even if you can't send me a picture, it's so exceptionally unlikely to be anything untoward.
It's probably either a freckle that you haven't noticed before or a small burst blood vessel.

I know its a bit old thread. But I will appreciate if you help please @cat1654 as I am going through the same stress. What was it? Did they find out?
