Q: whats the best otc ointment to get rid of a bruise for a one-year-old babys face?

: You leave it alone. Nothing you put on the skin will penetrate deep enough to change the healing process. In Theory, moist heat applied to the area improves blood flow in the skin and would speed the recovery. However, I don't have a clue as to how you would get a 1-year-old to sit still for the process.
