Hello,
It seems from the history that you are having purple pink eye lid caused by a hit on the forehead. This is because of collection of blood in the layers of the eyelids and this will resolve by 3-4 weeks. The treatment is mainly by using cold compression.
Analgesic tablets are required for any associated pain.
If you are having painful eye movements or blurring of vision then you require examination by a eye doctor and treatment accordingly.

Thank you
