My knuckle bruise will stay for how long until it heals?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Bruise: The amount of time it takes to heal is highly variable from person to person.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.
