What Causes Persistent Cyst On The Sclera Of Left Eye?
Question: Hi two questions:
Went on 3 day vacation came back with cysts on my the white part of left eye (happend while sleeping) that have not resolved yet even though on meds -5 days now and a long straight is bruise from back or right née to butt, about 1-2 inches wide. I had a door hit me Sunday but felt no pain until Tuesday night, and now it still hurts....ugh
Could the bruise have taken 3 days to show up and what's the deal with the eye balls. Could something have happened at night, I did wake up with a sharp pain, like a bug bit my eyeball. And worry that the leg is a broken blood vessel popped cyst from my knee or I am that obtuse I did t notice the huge red thing

Brief Answer:
Photos are needed to asnwer this questions.
Detailed Answer:
Hello!
Thank you for the query.
Can you please attach a picture of both bruises?
It is hard to answer this question not being able to see this bruises. But yes, this is possible. Some bruises appear day or two after an injury. Its because there is swelling at the beginning. When the swelling goes away, bruise gets more visible.
Both bruises should go away by theirs own. It can take up to 3 weeks for the bruises to go away. This does not last few days.
If the leg is broken or not, only an x-ray can tell. If the hit was strong, you should have one.
Please try to attach the photos so I can give more precise answers.
Hope this will help.
Regards.

It's impossible to do a selfie of the eye the cysts are on the white part and the phone doesn't do depth well.
As for the leg yeah that looks like a regular bruise I am well aware the discoloration doe st appear till the swelling goes down 2-3 days later, but I did nt notice the pain until 3 days after as I sat on the toilet, and at that time it was very red very pink like a fresh cut or bump now it's following the regular process of swelling shrinking purple ing it's more the timing of it I find puzzling no not broken even I can't be that ..... I've broken enough bones to know when it happens and quite honestly it hurts less than this if I have a pic I'll send it
How do I send pic of bruise it's small part of it

Brief Answer:
Hematoma is possible.
Detailed Answer:
One more thing is possible. Hematoma. Its a kind of blood collection which can give pain after few days. Its because the blood gets infected leading to pain and swelling.
If its hematoma, should be drained. Its hard to determine either its just a bruise or hematoma without soft tissues ultrasound.
There should be an option in the query to upload the picture. If you have problems finding it, please send the picture to YYYY@YYYY and mark it for query id 197361.
