why is there a red spot in my eye - #24776
I am really worried about this red spot in my eye that showed up out of nowhere. Like, I was just sitting at home watching TV when I noticed it in the mirror - kinda freaked me out. I thought maybe it was just a random irritatio, but then it didn’t go away after a day or two. The spot is bright red and kinda small, but it's right on the white part of my eye, which makes it super obvious! I had some allergies last week, and I remember rubbing my eyes a lot (probably shouldn’t have done that) and I wonder if that's part of why is there a red spot in my eye. I did some Googling and found all sorts of things like conjunctivitis and broken blood vessels. Can a broken blood vessel be the reason why is there a red spot in my eye? There’s no pain or blurry vision or anything crazy like that, but I just can’t help thinking about it. Should I be seeing a doctor or something, or can it just heal on its own? Like, what exactly are the chances that it's something serious, ya know? Would really appreciate any insight from you all on this!
