A member asked:
Ice or heat for swollen bruise on sole of my feet?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
For a bruise: Start with ice, 20 min on/off alternating. After a day or two, then can switch to heat if needed. If this continues to hurt or does not improve, see a physician as there are many structures that can be injured by trauma to the bottom of the foot. Hope that helps!
