Hello, As per your history and these pictures there seem to be two possibilities: 1) small patch of subconjunctival hemorrhage 2) localized episcleritis In case of 1) no need to do anything please only observe for another week to 10 days Use simple lubricant drop till then for relief of heaviness In case of 2) we may need to start mild steroids But I can't prescribe anything without further follow up pictures
