Q: i hit my eyebrow 5 days ago and got a black eye. this morning i woke up to bruising under the other eye. is this normal?

: This is not usual, but certainly not completely unexpected either. It may be that some subcutaneous blood is spreading out under your skin. If you notice persistent discomfort or if the bruising continues to expand, you should seek medical attention. otherwise, this will likely resolve in a week or two. Good luck.
