What Causes Greenish Discolouration Under The Left Eye?

I am a 58 year old female. Not taking any meds. Fairly good health, a few extra pounds. Today my husband noticed my left cheekbone up near my eye is greenish colored from the outer edge of my cheekbone in towards my nose and there is a dark area like a bruise running along the top of my cheekbone under my eye. It looks a little puffy and is a little tender if touched but not really what I would call sore. I haven t bumped it or gotten hit with anything. Is it just a bruise or could it be a symptom of something else?

As per your case history you are having purpuric rash on face, my treatment advice is -

1. Apply ice on the lesions twice daily.
2. Take a vitamin c supplement once daily for 3 months.
