A member asked:
I have a black eye from falling and hitting my cheekbone. how can i make the bruising go away sooner? happened 3 days ago

Bruise: Hopefully, you were evaluated after the fall and do not have a fracture. Gently massage or rub the area to relieve pain and encourage blood flow. Do not massage the bruised area if it causes pain. Over the counter medications like tylenol, (acetaminophen) aleve and motrin may help if there is pain. Witch hazel and arnica can help decrease the bruising.
