Bruising By Eyelid And Socket. Pictures Uploaded With Medications. Not
Question: Bruising by eyelid and socket. Pictures uploaded with medications. Not sure when this occurred sometime this morning into afternoon. Just noticed it. No pain.
Brief Answer:
Eye bruising possibly by minor trauma.
Detailed Answer:
Hello dear XXXXXXX
Welcome to Ask A Doctor service.
I read your query and here is my advice.
I see the photo you attached and it was a bruised eye, which could be due to damaged blood vessel under the skin causing bleeding underneath the skin.
None of the medications you are taking can cause it. Bruises may be caused by blood thinners but you are not taking any blood thinning medications at this moment.
I would suggest you do a total blood count and platelets count too because low platelet count can cause it.
Our skin becomes more fragile and thin with ageing.
There is a possibility of having a minor trauma that you can't even remember what caused it.
Hope I have answered the question.
Let me know if I can assist you further.

Hello again dear. Thank you for asking again.
There is a possibility that aspirin may be the cause.
It needs about two weeks for its effects to subside.
