Asked By:Ali_Nar in Los Angeles, CA

Hello. This's a photo was taken today while smiling. I have been notcing that my eyelid is never like before again. First, I keep noticing that my eyelid skin is darker which makes me think that I burned my skin with the hot compress. Is this possible?? Second, my eyelid has triangular shape (high crease), and it still looks swollen although I don't feel the stye anymore. How can I fix this? Is it an inflammation? Do I need a steroid injection or daily hot compress can do the trick?
