Does anyone know what might be causing this ‘bruising’ in the corner of my eye?

Does anyone know what might be causing this kind of bruising in the corner of my eye? It appeared about 2 months ago. I haven’t bumped that area.

Go to an optician. I did with something vaguely similar, and it turns out I have an autoimmune disease.

I actually gave myself a black eye there once from rubbing my eye so hard because of itchy hay fever eyes.
That skin is so so thin-and I expect I am a bit older than you...

Thanks, I would have thought that a GP would know this more than an optician. I have seen a GP, but she was dismissive. That’s interesting that your vaguely similar marks were linked to an autoimmune condition. A couple of my immunoglobulin levels are low. I can’t stop getting infections.

Thanks, I do rub my eyes, so it’s a possible explanation that it’s from rubbing my eyes.

Following as I suddenly have this too. Funny enough I've also recently been diagnosed with an autoimmune disease. I wonder if they are linked

Do you mind saying which autoimmune disorder you have?
