A member asked:
Which medicine should you put on nasty bruises?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Only cosmetics: No medications applied to a bruise will help it heal more quickly. It always takes a few weeks to completely disappear. If you want to make them less noticeable, you will need to apply covering makeup.
