Blister On Eyelid, Itching, Sore To Touch. Swelling On Cheekbone. Related?

I have a blister looking bump on my lower eyelid. It itches but is sore to the touch. Then a couple of days later I noticed a swollen spot on my cheekbone below the same eye and is swollen all the way to my lower lid. It looks like there might be a small opening on the cheekbone. Could these be related or am I dealing with two separate issues?

Hi,
Thanks for writing your query.

It will be helpful if you give more information on :-
1. Any recent history of injury on your face?
2. Whether the adjoining skin is red or discoloured?
3. Any redness or discharge from the eye?

After reading your post, it seems that you might be having cellulitis as a result of inflammation in eyelid.

You should get yourself clinically examined.
Anti-inflammatory like Ibuprofen twice a day after meals along with an antibiotic and an antacid will be helpful. Serratiopeptidase can be added for better recovery.
Any medicine to be taken under medical supervision only.

I hope this is helpful to you.
Thanks.
