I noticed something on my eyelid. it's red in the centre and then bluish around. it looks like insects bite or like i hit something. what could this be? could this be herpes or anything like that?

Possible insect bite: The redness and swelling may be related to an insect bite reaction or an infection. Avoid irritating the area, apply aloe Vera lotion and please see your physician. If you experience additional symptoms,change in vision or redness of the eye itself please see the Emergency Department.
