Hello
It seems from the history that you had a injury above the right eye to the head following it you are having lump and the eye has become purple.
This condition is called as black eye. This is because of collection of blood under the layers of the eye lid. This is because of the fact that the layers of the eye lid are in continuous with the layers of the scalp. Hence injuries to the head above the eye lead to black eye.
The treatment is by cold compression and treatment for the injury as required.
Thank you
