What Causes Purplish Discoloration On The Eye Lids?

Hi, I am someone who suffers from Rhumatoid Arthritis. Not sure if my problem has anything to do with my illness. I was getting ready for bed and i just lightly touched the corner of my eye, I felt a sting but only slightly. When I got upstairs about 3 minutes later I had a dark purple eyelid.. and the next moron it was even worse all alone my eyelid and up the corner of my nose.. it was really bad and looked like I d been punched. I m wondering what might cause this. No trauma of any kind had happened.? You advice would be appreciated. Thank you!
