Part of eye is randomly bloodshot?

Question

I noticed a significantly red area of vessels on my right eye sclera (photo attached). My other eye is fine and it’s only in the one area. I’m a 16 year old female, I wear glasses (never worn contacts), I don’t wear eye makeup and I haven’t been scratching or touching my eye or done anything to cause this. It’s not painful, but both my eyes are a little bit dry. I’m wondering if I have a mild hemorrhaging, some of the redness appears to be outside of the vessels. If somebody is able to tell me what this is or if I need to see a doctor, it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks :)

You have episcleritis. You don't need to do anything. Steroid eye drops will make it look better. That requires a prescription.

I get it all the time your eye is blood shot. You have been straining your eye. It happens for me because i look at computer screen for too long or staying up too late. It can happen for reading in the night without a light etc. It will go in a few days but if you want to prevent it look after yourself.
