Right now, applying too much heat will increase the swelling considerably. For the next few hours you should be applying ice packs alternately for periods of 10 minutes or however long you can take it. Then wait 10 and do it again. Do not push on your eye, just hold it there and rest it. Do not lay on that side in bed, at least the first night. If you shower, just avoid the face. By tomorrow, heat will not hurt. Damage is done....but it will hurt to train the shower water on your face and eye. I suggest Ibuprofen for the pain and swelling.

it will prob hurt if you put anything on it.. hot water would make it swell more just like any other injury... ice it a lot so it heals faster...
i would avoid the camera.. those pics could come back as black mail haha

Don't be racist towards your black eye. Except it for the color of its skin. Just because your eye is black it does not mean it is less of an eye then your white eye.
