How Can A Reddish And Purplish Discoloration On The Eyelid Be Treated?

it appears I have a hematoma to my left upper eyelid - a partial black eye but only on the upper eyelid, and left eye only. I woke up from a night s sleep and it was there. It reddish and purple colored skin is formed a half circle following the curvature of my eyebrow - it is actually partially hidden when my eyes are wide open. I did not have a blow to the head or face - I did not fall or anything like that. I woke up and it was there. There is no pain or swelling and I have no visual impairment - - this is a mystery. What could have caused it?

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

As per your case history you are having purpuric rash. My treatment advice is –

1. Avoid sun exposure and use a good sunscreen lotion with SPF more than 30.
2. Apply a soothing lotion like calamine lotion on the affected region.
3. Take a vitamin c supplement

If the problem persists then consult a dermatologist.
