The actual eyelid does not appear hurt or abnormal. The red color appears to be from some other source - perhaps related to Diwali celebrations.

Try to clean the area with just water and a cloth. I suspect the color will mostly come off after cleaning. Otherwise, there is no concern at the moment and Mosquito should be fine.
