What Causes Corners Of Eyes To Turn Black/blue When Having Bump On Forehead?
My 3 year old daughter was hit in the forehead with metal scooter while unloading it from the car. Instant bump, that swelling has gone down and the place she was hit looks greenish / yellowish - all signs of normal bruising, but now, 6 days later, the inside corners of her eyes are black and blue. Is this from the bump on the forehead 6 days ago?

Hello
It seems from the history that you had a injury to the forehead following which you are having a swelling and bruising. The blackening of the eyelids is because of collection of blood in the layers of the skin of the eyelids because of collection of blood in the layers of the skin of the eyelids.
This will resolve over 2-3 weeks and applying cold compression provides symptomatic relief.
Thank you
