Hello
It seems from the history that you are having black eye , bruising on cheek and lump under the eye following injury. This is because of collection of blood and fluids in the layers of skin as a result of injury.
This will resolve over 3-4 weeks and application of cold compression is helpful.
However associated fractures of the underlying bones or eye injury needs to be ruled out.
Hence I advice you to consult your doctor for examination and treatment accordingly.
Thank you
