Hi,Ronda,
there is possibility of having some thing bite causing bruise.
Another possibility is developing herpes zoster,in this condition you may get some burning pain over the part.After few days blisters may be formed spreading to forehead and in the eye.
At present take some anti histamines,if there is no improvement then consult your doctor to rule out herpes or other problems.
ok and bye.
