How to reduce bruising and pain on legs?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Bruise: You should see your primary care dr. To determine the cause of this. For the first 24 hours, i would ice the effected area to minimize the spread of the bruise. After 48 hours, heat may be applied to allow the blood to disperse about the body. The amount of time it takes to heal is highly variable from person to person.
