Docs can you explain what is a fast, easy way to make bruises go away?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Ice and compression: Ice and compression to the area with a wrap. Bruising is below the skin bleeding, so elevating the area will help relieve pressure. Also, massaging the area gently while taking over the counter anti inflammatory meds.
