What Causes Bumps And Swelling Under Eyes And How To Treat It?

Hi, Yesterday while sitting at my desk I started to get swelling under my eye with a couple of small bumps. The bumps were completely soft and very small. The swelling continued to get worse and my eye started to get bruised. After a few hours the swelling went down, but now I look like I have a black/purple eye. I don t have any idea why this is happening, but it doesn t seem to be going away. Not getting worse though.
