What can you do to help heal brusies?

Dr. Tom Says:

The short answer is "nothing" - they will go away with time. A small bruise means there wasn't very much blood in the tissues after an injury, and it will disappear fast - in 4 or 5 days. A big bruise, from a bigger injury leads to more blood in the tissues, and that may take a couple of weeks to go away completely. If the bruise is on an arm or leg, keeping that part active and massaging it gently may help.
