Hello
Welcome to health care magic.
I reviewed your history.
It seems from the history that you are having swelling and redness of the eye following injury to the forehead. This is because of collection of blood in the layers of the skin and in the conjunctiva following injury. This is commonly seen in injuries to the head and the forehead.
This will not require treatment and it will resolve on its own slowly as the blood gets reabsorbed slowly. Hence no need to worry about the redness of the eye.
Hence I advice you to consult your doctor for treatment of your forehead injury.
Hope this information is helpful to you.
Thank you
With regards
