Ophthalmologist 's  Response
Hello
Welcome to Health care magic

I reviewed your history. It seems from the history that you are having red area on white part of the eye. It appears like subconjunctival hemorrhage from the description you have given.
It is a self resolving condition and will resolve by 1-2 weeks. However the diagnosis needs to be confirmed by examination from a ophthalmologist.

Thank you
