How to treat bruises by myself within 3 days?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Don't really: Need to do anything. Your body will slowly absorb them in time. Depending on where the bruise is, if you can elevate the area that can help. Also cold packs may help the bruise from spreading. But to be honest, at the 3 day mark, a superficial bruise is really just going to take time to go away.
