What Causes Purple Discolouration On Eyelid Corner While Suffering From Shingles?
Hi I woke up with the corner of might eyelid all purple/red like I got into a fist fight in the middle of the night!! Have no blurred vision or pain, just swollen alittle. I am not on blood thinners. I am also dealing with shingles on tummy area, could this be related somehow, or just a fluke thing ?? Thank you.

Hello,
* Shingles on the tummy region would not be responsible for eyelid discoloration.
* I think that might be in relation with the possible bug bite at night which went without any notice.
However, if a photo pic of the eyelid showing the lesion, it would be far more better option to evaluate it in further great details. Till that time, do apply ice over the affected part 3 times a day.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
