How to Fade a Dark Bruise

rub a hair brush on the bruise it will break up the blood under the skin

Ok C.:
You have us all curious....Who got hit?And why the rush to get rid of it?

I always thought a cold spoon worked :)
good luck,
S

Maybe go to the Doctor.
A bruise can be either surface injury, or a hematoma... and the deeper layers of the skin/muscle tissue is also affected/injured. Hematomas take longer to heal.
Is there a lump under the bruise? This can indicate the the underlying muscles are bruise too....

I would see a Doctor.

take care,
susan

Hi C. E. Try veinegar, it's a home remidy for bruises. J. L.

I agree with Julia M. and am concerned about why you are worrying about hurrying to get rid of a bruise? Is there anything else that you need help with? I am praying for you.

Use Camphor...best if pure in an ointment...but you can use Mentholatum Brand Ointment and it will work.

u need to up your vitamin C intake ..happened to me and a bruise lasted for 6 months! then my skin doc told me to up my vitamin C and it took a week to go away!

Arnica Montana 30X internally 3x/day

1500mg of vitaminC with 1500mg of bioflavinoids - split this up 3x/day - 500mg of each at a time.

Most people don't realize that it's not the (ascorbic acid)vitamin C that actually heals the body, It's the vitamin C complex which includes bioflavinoids....and you need a 1:1 ratio.

Hi C.,

For a bruise that dark, Arnica in X potency is probably not going to be effective...you might need to go much higher. Also, it might not be the correct remedy. Try Ledum also. If neither works, consult a classically trained homeopath.

Best,
