We all get bruises all the time, let’s face it we’re busy people and we don’t always pay attention to where we’re going. So that means we get these blue and purple patches under our skin and it’s quite painful! Children as especially prone to this kind of bruises because of their more active lifestyle. But I’ve also noticed that women who are in their period also get bruised more easily. Now what can be done to help heal these bruises as quickly as possible? There are 3 simple methods that can help remove bruises!
Obviously to remove bruises we could just avoid getting them in the first place. Just watch where you’re going more closely and be careful not to make any movements too forcefully. But what if it’s too late? Well now it’s time to bust out these three easy tips and tricks to make your skin and flesh heal really quickly after getting bruised.
The first step once you notice a bruise is simple: apply ice to it. This might seem kind of silly or just too easy, but it works amazingly and it really makes a difference in the amount of time it takes to heal your bruises. To apply ice to your bruises, first make some ice using your freezer. Then place a few ice cubes into a ziplock bag. If it is too cold to place the bag directly onto your flesh, wrap a towel around the bag of ice. Keep the ice on your bruise for at least ten minutes. Then you can let your bruise thaw out for about 10 more minutes, and put your ice bag back into the freezer. Repeat as often as possible for you.
The next magical formula for healing bruises is to apply Arnika Gel. This gel is made from a plant called Arnika. This is a gel that you simply apply to your skin. It works for bruises and muscle pains. It’s all natural and doesn’t cost very much compared to some of the other creams or gels that are on the market. The best reason to use this gel is that it will speed up the process of healing your bruises and muscles. You should reapply the gel every hour or so. But don’t forget to keep icing your bruise too. The two of these put together will increase your body’s healing capabilities a lot.
The last thing you can do to help heal is to eat lots of fruits and vegetables. The reason you want to eat these healthy and natural foods is that your body will spend less energy digesting and breaking down the food you eat, and more time healing your bruises. Eat many different types of fruits of different colors: yellow, orange, red and blue. Do this because each fruit will give you different nutrients that you body might be lacking. This will also speed up your healing process. Eat lots of green leafy vegetables too, because those will help your body to clean itself out. Once you’ve cleared yourself of any negative substances, your body will be working at it’s optimum power to heal all of your aches and pains.
Now you’ve done all of the above things, but maybe you need a quick fix for your bruises. Have no fear! You can always cover up a bruise. Of course that doesn’t get rid of the pain of the bruise, but if you just want to hide the bright blue and purple colors, it will have to do. If the bruise is on your legs or arms or basically anywhere that you can cover with clothing, you’re saved. If a bruise is on your face however, you will need to get a little more creative. If you’ve done all of the above techniques and you need to be somewhere and look presentable your best bet is to apply some cover up make up.
Just dab on some foundation over the part where the bruise is. This should work nicely. But don’t think that because you can cover up a bruise you shouldn’t help make it heal faster. Applying Arnika gel and ice will make sure you don’t need to cover it up every day for weeks. You might just need to cover it up for one or two days instead.
I hope these tips will help you make your bruises heal faster. I know I used these tricks many times during my career as a competing Tae Kwon Do athlete. Bruises happen, but they don’t need to last for a long time!

Wow, theres alot of misleading cures here and people saying some proven methods are bunk.. First I am not a medical doctor but I do have a doctorate and am a phamacologist, so I help design the medications that md's perscribe so I do know somethings about this.. There is no k2.day cure for brusing it is a process of living hemoglobin leaking from broken veins/capilaries ect. And dying and decaying this decay cause the pruple to green spectrum of brusing. So first off do ice it BUT only use ice for 48 to 72 hours MAX im 10 min on 1 hour off. ice/cold will constrict vessels so less hemoglobin leaks to decay and bruse. Now after the bruse radius reaches its maxium size which will be less than 3 days switch to HEAT! Heat will dialate the capilaries to the.decayed hemoglobin can return to the vessel and be expeleded as wasted filtered by your liver/kidneys. If you use cold after the 3 day rule you will only drastically slow the decay and removal of.the red cells causing a bruise to last almost twice as long. So ice then heat. Now about arinica... Its one of those hippie dippy natual cure from the vitamin store that are mostly psycosymatic aids at best BuT not arnica gel its an.extract of the arnica plant amd happens to also be probaly the best vassodialator for brusing. So again uae it after a couple days to rapidly aid in removal of decayed rbc'S use arnica gel and apply every few hours. Or if u have the foresight of brusing such as impending surgery then take arnica pills starting 5 days before surgery. This will lower the amount of rbc that remain subdermal to decay less rbc out of the vein mean smaller bruses that thus heal faster. Arnica costabout ten dollars and even with billion dollar budgets drug makers cant synth a better vassodialator for brusing. I know because we have tried and nothing any company has produced did not work as well in labratory and real world testing. So just ice for a few days then arnica and heat compress and massage after that to speed bruise removal. Now anyone looking for that i want it gone tomorrow or in three days for my wedding/class pictures ect are out of luck. So far we can only help to prevent release and speed removal of rbc. Your.only choice is concealer/Cover up i not a beautician so im dont know which brand is best but since in most cases matured brusing is darker than the skin try to pick a color lighter.than your skin and somewhere twoards the oppisite of the bruise. Blending of contrasting colors works bettet on dynamic surfaces such as skin than an attempt to "paint" over a dark color with a lighter color unless you plan to use "face primer' which i doubt exist and end up just painting your whole face untill its caked on thus negating the smooth noticeless texture you want. Unless you already cake on the cosmetics till ypu cant even see any natural skin and your more mask than human which looks like crap and dosent fool anybody closer than s football feild away or severily visually impared. That last part about caked makeups.is my opinion wjich i trust and the rest of my post is a proven fact which you have to deal with untill science provides a medicine that dialates vessel beter than arnica that also wont.thin the blood casing possible hemorage and death which is fine in a possible_death or death situation but for brusing the cheap plant and frozen then heater water work best.
after putting ice on a bruise for a couple of days, it has dissappeared alot. however it is not completely gone.. i need to know the more effective method.. will applying heat help more, or should i just continue icing it?
No offense but this list of 3 things is LAME. None of them will make a bruise go away quickly. Arnica is useless. How can you call it magical?? That's sooo miselading. Vinegar can visibly dissolve a bruise before your eyes, but you have to be careful because if the skin under it starts to blister you've done it too long & it can leave a scar. Chocolate & crushed parsely can help if you apply it directly on the bruise & then cover it. & after 2 days you should apply a warm compress to get the blood moving faster.
I thought ice only relieves the pain, didn't know it helps healing. Thanks for the advice.
you may be a fool for letting someone hit u but its a difficult situation to be in and no one should critisise i have a bruise from my socald parter and its not easy to just walk away so dont judge or say were dummies
There are various ways of helping and i would like to include - R Rest - I Ice for at least 48 - 72 hours 20 mins every 2 hours - C Compression this slows down swelling - E Elevate the area stops pooling of blood - R Refer If not getting better, better having a health professional to review The above is a good article I'm just advising what we do at our sporting club
ahahahahaa! made my day!
hey i get a lot of bruses when i skateboard how can i provent them....
Ice is my fav. Ice is my fav. Ice is my fav. Ice is my fav. Ice is my fav. Ice is my fav. Ice is my fav. Ice is my fav. Ice is my fav.
I have a bruised eye after falling on my cheek. The eye has gone black and I need a fast cure as this is very embarrassing.
I just wanted to say thanks and PENIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!! that is all good bye :)
Wow - SassyOne, you are a total b*tch! Let's just hope you're never in a position where you need empathy, you heartless cow.
i am anemic and gets bruises all the time....all over the place. it happens so frequent that i dont even relize i have a bruise. its spring time and time to wear cute shorts and sleeveless shirts and i am tired of always having bruises.
why dont you take some iron so you dont get the effects of being anemic? and to the article, it is not good to ice so much, 20 min max per icing and 2-3 times a day at max! ice slows down the bodies processes, it helps with bruises because it reduces inflammation and scar tissue, but you eventually need the area to be warm to be able to repair itself. Thats why when you have a fever your temp goes up, your body speeds up its processes. Ice 2-3 times a day, eat healthy, get in extra water, MASSAGE THE AREA a few times a day, and elevate it when you sleep.... there are so many things you can do

please help! I had a soccer two nights ago and I have to bruises. One on my kicking foot from a cleat just smacking it and it hurts really bad and I have a game tommorow at 6. Is there anything that I can do to help it between now and my game?
You guys are lucky or in denial. I have bruises all over me from my abusive husband and am trying to find a job.
I'd be looking for a new husband. I wish you luck on both fronts.
divorce her
I dont think we are in denial sweety. We're just not stupid like you are. You really need to find a new husband you big dummy!!!!
I dont think she is stupid.. but that idiot who is abusing you is! Get away from that coward as quick as you can and never look back :( seek help if you need it..
SassyOne-more like C.U.N.T. here's all of us hoping someone knocks the crap out of u!
you're a f*cking c*nt.
These people obviously are in denial, and rude! Abuse is a very serious issue and some times can be dangerous to get away from, keep strong honey, you are not alone!I have my own company and I have to cover up to meet clients. I am slowly getting away but it is a very touchy situation. Just know that you are not alone, build yourself a private nest and get out as soon as you can. There are programs out there for us, we just need the confidence to get away from the abuse
dont listen to sassy one shes a c*nt and i just told her that i hope she & everybody sees it. you dont deserve any more bullsh*t. try to leave him if you're still with him. if it were me im fearless & ruthless if a man ever hit me id blast him into next tuesday and probably try to fight back with twice the gust. but if you're a shy timid creature you need to find your own escape. hope you already did xo
