What Causes Swelling In Upper Eyelid With Red Line Above Eyebrow?
Hi,
I woke up this morning and saw that my upper eyelid was swollen. I also see a red line above my eyebrow. It was a mosquito bite (I do not live in a tropical area) that caused this. What should I do? Is this alarming or will it just go away by itsself? And if it goes away by itsself, how long will it take approximately?

You have said about red line. mosquito bite can not have aline. line can be injury. see for pain in area. apply beta dine lotion over the line. apply coldcompression over lid. get it examined by eye doctor. look for sty, calazion, blepharitis, and foreign body lodged in conjuctival sac. after examination and diagnosis treatment can be planed.
