Skin Details

A bruise can come from anywhere from bumping into the drawer of your desk to falling on the ice or wet pavement. A bruise can either be very painful or you may not even know where or when you got it. Bruises are created when there is a sudden hard impact on the soft tissues causing the small capillaries that are located right beneath the skin to bleed. The bruise is the blood that has collected from the breakage. Bruise Treatment is usually pretty effective but you can never get rid of a bruise right away. The only thing you can do is make it less noticeable and help it to heal fast.

The best way to treat a bruise is to apply ice to the area for about 20 to 30 minutes right after the injury occurs. Use an icepack or a package of frozen peas. The frozen peas will conform to the shape of the body and the cold will get right up against the bruise. You may want to wrap the package in a towel and if you are using ice, make sure to put it in a plastic sandwich bag and then in a towel.

The cold does two advantageous things to the bruised area. The first benefit is that it stops the area from swelling. The second benefit is that it stops the blood flow from the broken blood vessels and the bruise will not get as big as it would if this was not done.

If the injury occurs in the leg or food be sure to raise it up on a stool or something and try to keep it up about 12 hours. The blood from the broken capillaries will stop moving out into the skin. If the bruise is causing pain you can take acetaminophen or ibuprofen but never take aspirin because it stops clotting from happening.

If the bruise is still giving you problems after 48 hours you can apply a warm compress to the bruise for 10 minutes about 3 times per day. The skin may be able to take the blood back into the system and the bruise will fade. This does not work in all cases.

You can find commercial treatments for bruises in the pharmacy or Online. Their ingredients include vitamin A and K since these particular vitamins will stop discoloration and start the healing process. Arnica is also in some of those treatments and can be found in the form of ointments or pills but is most always in the form of gel. You should follow the package instructions for each of these preparations.

The herb comfrey has been a home remedy for bruises since the renaissance. You can grow comfrey in your garden or get dried comfrey leaves from an herb store or Online. Comfrey prevents the discoloration and may ease some of the pain. The leaves of comfrey are huge and you usually get it in crushed form and looks like something you would put in your stew, but do not do that because taken internally it has been known to be a carcinogen. Just take about one tablespoon of the dried comfrey and put it in a pan. Add 1 cup boiled water and let it steep covered for 15 minutes. When it is cool enough apply the infusion with cotton balls and let dry. If you are using a leaf from the garden you will need to crush it before adding the water. Crush but keep it intact and then once you dab on the infusion wrap the actual leaf on the area with an Ace Bandage to keep it on for a few hours.

When bruises heal they will turn a variety of colors. It will be red or purple at first then change to a green color then to yellow before healing. Do not look for a cure for bruises because there is not one available. The above preparations will help to make them heal faster. If you still have the bruise two or three weeks later see your doctor. This may be a symptom of a more serious condition that affects clotting of the blood.
