Hello,

I read carefully your query and understand your concern.

The brown dot on the tear duct can be related to a tear duct infection.
Generally pigmented lesions in this area should be checked by an oculoplastic surgeon, and removed.
The removal may be done in an office setting with oral sedation, and topical anesthetic, followed by local anesthetic.

Hope my answer was helpful.

If you have further queries feel free to contact me again.

Kind regards!
