Suggest Remedy For A Bump Appearing Under The Left Eye

Hello, I m a 51 yr old woman who is now a bit alarmed because when I was in the bathroom and looked in the mirror there was a very small tip of the pinky size round-circle purple bruise? It just appeared from no where because I did not bump my face nor been bit by anything? And when I touch it ever so slightly it seems to shift and seems to have blood moving underneath the skin..........it is located directly under my left eye about one inch down. Please help, I just got out of hospital last week-4(days) for some kind of seizure(never had before) which is a mystery that I do have to follow up on. They gave me 2-3 shots in boths of my thighs-told me they were blood thinners & would prevent blood clots?

Dermatologist,  's  Response
as per your history, you have received anticoagulant injection for your seizure attack. This causes thinning of blood and causes bruises and ecchymoses in skin. Probably you have developed one such lesion under your left eye; an adverse effect ofthe blood thinning ( anti coagulant) injection you have received. You need some investigations like Bleeding time, Clotting time and Platelet count. If any abnormality then consult a doctor; otherwise no need to worry.
