swelling on face!!

[DVirginiana]

This makes me think of a cat I used to have. He was an alley cat for a long time (thus the untreated wound) but he had this place that would swell and then go back to normal over and over, and it turned out that it was a minor infection that had stayed under the skin when a wound healed.
When I see swelling I automatically think infection, but the fact that it's so close to the eyes with no eye infection makes me think it may not be an infection... Sorry I don't have anything more helpful to say
