What Could Be The Cause For Yellow Purple Discoloration In The Eyelid?
I woke up this morning with a yellow and purple discoloration of my entire left eyelid. I am not in any pain and it does not hurt to touch. I had an itching sensation that lasted a few hours earlier but now it is gone. I haven t been struck in the face so I don t know why this happened

Hello,
Welcome to HCM
Thanks for posting your query in HCM.I understand your concerns.This is because of haematoma as a result of collection of blood under the layers of skin of eyelid.
Though the commonest cause is injury it can occur spontaneously also in case of diabetes or hypertension .
Hence hthourogh requires evaluation is to be done to rule out these systemic causes.
For purple color of eye lids you can apply cold compression and it will resolve no need to worry.
Hope you are satisfied with the answer.
Thank you
