What Causes Purple Blotch On Lower Eyelid?

After taking a shower and before putting on my makeup, I was looking in the mirror and watched as a spontaneous tiny blotch appeared on my lower eyelid....and I watched as it increased in size. Though not very big, it scared the daylights out of me. It s now purple, looks like blood....no swelling, no bumps. Weird. What can cause that? And should I get it checked out?

Hello
I reviewed your history.
It appears like a spot of ecchymosis probably because of rubbing of eyes or minor injury.
It will resolve by 1-2 weeks.
But if you are having recurrent episodes you need to consult your doctor for examination and treatment accordingly.

Thank you
