Swollen/puffy patch of eyelid - how can I fix this? (Photo)

May 13, 2024
Asked By:k888666772 in Scotland, United Kingdom

Hi there, I have been struggling with this swollen/puffy patch on my eye lid. I am looking for advice on what this could be, and how I fix this? I have been to see an eye dr who has said it is not anything to do with my eyes and my eyes and surrounding are all healthy. Blood work all normal. Many thanks!
