I have been experiencing dryness and itchiness around my left eye off and on for over a year, which I figured was due to my allergies. The past couple of days it was itching a lot, and I probably rubbed it too much, and it felt very bruised and swollen around the outer lower edge of my eye, as if I had been punched there or something.
Last night I also experienced twitching in my left inner eyebrow muscle, which I've never had before. This morning I woke up, and the entire bag under my eye is really puffy and swollen, and looks terrible. It hurts when I blink, not a sharp pain, but a swollen, bruised pain.
Anybody have any thoughts on what the problem is, and what I can do to fix it? It could be I have had more stress lately. I have to speak in front of a lot of people tomorrow. Maybe I should wear an eyepatch.
