What Causes Redness On Corner Of Eye?

My eye has gone really red in the corner of my left eye , I have also notices a little red bump with a bit of white in the middle. There is no pain but I don't know what's wrong. I'm only 14 I don't wear glasses or contacts. A few weeks ago when I would wake up my eyes would be crusted together and hurt to open apart but I got eye drops and that cleared up in a few days
