Swelling down there! I'm scared (MALE 17)
Okay, I'm shaking right now. 8( I just noticed the tip of my penis is swollen & red. (No pains) I've never had sex, never done drugs. I think it may possibly be a reaction to dust, I say this because I just pulled an old quilt out and as I lay down, my eyes became super irritated, like badly, red with the eye goo. All the while I was mastrabating under the quilt 8( The quilt was old & probably dusty. IDK what to do!!! This is sooo embarassing 8( Its not the whole tip, just the hole.

It sounds like it was a case of that area coming in contact with a comforter you had an allergy to based on the watery eyes etc. you also mentioned.
If this doesn't die down see a doctor which we are not. When you go you'll need to now the hole from which urine flows from and ejaculate for that matter is called the urethra.
That hole and area around it are what is swollen. Tip of penis (looks lie a mushroom if circumcised or like that when foreskin retracts) is called the glans. It sounds to me like chaffing or it being severely irritated from contact with the bedding.
ADDITIONAL: As for your eyes make sure you throw away the comforter and change any clothing that came in contact with it, your body and your face. Shower and then wash your face and your eye-lids. Your eyes should stop stinging and watering soon after unless it's unrelated and you have pollen or hayfever.

I don't think this is a question any of us can answer as we are not doctors. Common sense says it is very possible something on the quilt irritated your penis. The question now becomes what if anything to do about it?
I would say if by the time you read this the swelling and redness has not gone away then you need to see your doctor. There is nothing to be embarrassed about, masturbation is normal and your doctor will have seen far worse than what you are complaining about.
The fact that you are 17 gives you medical confidentiality by law. Meaning you do not need to tell your parents about this or ask their permission to see a doctor. Neither your mother or father can be with you while you consult with your doctor unless you invite one of them to be with you. This is granted you under a law known as HIPPA which congress wrote into a section specifically for people 14 and older to seek medical help for problems with their reproductive systems. Your problem definitely qualities.
Your doctor no matter how well he is known to your family can not release any information to anyone, this includes your parents without your written permission. This includes your parents. To do so would subject your doctor to loss of license and 5 years in Jail under this law.
Now you do not have to go to you family doctor if you feel this would be too embarrassing. You can go to any clinic including any of the walk-in clinics. The visit will be covered under you health insurance with your parent coverage. At 17 years of age and probably driving you should be carrying your own health care coverage card in any case.
As I said if the swelling and irritation have not subsided then you need to see a doctor so either go to your own family doctor or a clinic but seek a doctor care.
