I did figure out the reason and thankfully it was just a dry skin patch and I had bruised the nerve ending in my eye....thanks you!

Hello and hope you are fine.
A raised red spot is in the white portion of eye can be due to a cyst or a mild inflammation. This inflammation could be due to episcleritis or scleritis. Yu may try using lubricating eye drops which may be available over the counter. If the symptoms are severe or persistent   then you need to be evaluated by an Ophthalmologist to rule out any infection or any other serious cause. Do keep us posted.
Best luck and regards!
