Hello
It seems form the history that you are having black eye and bruise on chin. Black eye is because of collection of blood in the layers of the skin of the eyelids.
It is self resolving condition and it will resolve over 3-4 weeks.
The treatment is by using anti-inflammatory drugs and anti-edema drugs. Applying ice compression helps to prevent further bleeding but it will not help to resolve the condition.
Thank you
