Hi, I frequent this site often (or about a year). I was raw for 6 months and now eat a mix, transitioning back into 90-95%. About 3 or 4 days ago, I developed what felt like a small irritant on my lower eyelid. I thought nothing of it because I wear makeup and have had irritants before. Yesterday, it started to swell, still didn't worry, it just was very tender. This morning I woke up and it was 2 as swollen, went to work, got home around 9, washed my makeup off and low and behold, it is now bruising and very very VERY swollen. I am not allergic to anything, I wash my make up off every night, and wash my hands regularly. This scares me. I am a singer, actress, and model and like it or not, my job depends on my looks. I might possibly be flown out to Cali in a week or so for the biggest opportunity in my career thus far and can't risk anything. I am going to my doctor tomorrow but I would like to see if any body on here has any experience with something like this.
p.s.
I am usually not this serious, but I am scared and this is a bit of a downer for me lol.

bump (please!!)
Thank you for you comments. Joaanabanana, I totally agree with you and am pretty sure if I stopped wearing makeup, this wouldn't be an issue. Unfortunately I work in a world of 2000 singer and 20,000 models all vying for the same work. It sucks, but when it comes down to it, I love what I do. I will definitely try the tea bags, that was suggested by a couple of my friends as well. Suasoria, I have been doing the HOT compress, it helps relieve some of the pressure but I haven't noticed anything else. The bumps are on the inside of my eyelid, and while I am one of those people who pops and picks at things, NOOOO WAAAAY is there a needle going that close to my eye lol.
Thanks again for the suggestions, always much appreciated.
