What Caused A Dark Blue Bruise Along My Right Eyelid And Around My Eye?
I woke up this morning to find a dark blue bruise along my right eyelid and down into the corner of the skin around the eye. The eye itself is OK. What could have caused this? Its not a place that could easily be bumped accidentally. Appreciate any help.

Hello
It seems from the history that you are having bruise along the right eye lid. This is because of bleeding into the layers of the skin of the eyelid by a broken blood vessel.
The commonest cause for bruise is injury. This is a self limiting condition and it will resolve over 3-4 weeks. Applying cold compress provides rapid symptomatic relief.
Thank you
