A member asked:
My eyelids are black/purplish and when i wake up in the morning they are swollen however during the day it goes down. what is wrong with them?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Lid swelling: Hard to say. Do you sleep face down? Sometimes being in a gravity dependent position can cause increased swelling overnight. I would see an ophthalmologist to be sure.
