What Causes Red Eyelid With Swelling And Soreness?
Hello, I have been considering going to a dr to have my eye s checked out...however I have an odd situation. I have been waking up about once or twice a month with just one eye completely swollen shut, the eyelid redish purple and very sore to the touch like a bruise. It takes about 24hrs to go completely away. When it comes on I feel this strange marble sized pain under my skin that instantly hurts and itches and then the swelling starts. It is not in my eyelashes or on the outside. Any advice?
