Suggest Treatment For Black Eye And Dark Patches Around Eye

Hello, I recently sustained a serious black eye (the eye was swollen shut). Now, after 3 weeks the swelling and blakness has gone away but there seems to be a permanent dark patch around the eye. It pretty much looks like I still have a black eye. I have read of people who have also suffered the same, where the mark never went away. I'm using Vitamin E oil but it doesn't seem to be making a visible difference. Please, I need Help! What should I do?
