Hi. The area of trauma you got has a peculiar skin , allowing the blood and fluid to spread to the eyelids. As you have bruises , I would advise you to start an antibiotic and and an anti-inflammatory medicines under your Doctor's supervision. It may be wise to go for X-ray of the are to rule out a fracture, although many of them do not require active treatment.
