Hello
It seems from the history that you are having a yellow nodular swelling on the white part of the eye, conjunctiva.
This can be because of degenerative condition of the conjunctiva called as pinguecula.
It can become inflamed some tines causing pain and redness, treatment is by using antiinflammatory drugs.
If it is recurrent it can be treated by surgical excision.

Thank you
