Try using a cream containing Vitamin K. This will help the bruise heal faster. You can also use a yellow-base concealer or cover-up to camouflage bruises.

the bruise is from blood collecting at the site of the iv its called a hematoma basically its a hickey on your arm try using pressure the way you would with a hickey use a chapstick top and pres into it while you turn it that will get the blood to break apart and float back into the blood stream and the bruise should go away. you could also just wait it'll go away in about a week.

This is definately something called a hematoma as stated above. Unfortunately the only 100% effective way for it to go away is time.

Vitamin K may work well as this vitamin is contains a clotting factor. Chapstick tops, toothpaste, etc are all wives tales and do not work with every person.

Buy a leech or two. They are used to reduce and heal bruises.

A cream I make from weeds and essential oils which reduces bruising and minor sprains, where one accidently slips and might get a little swelling and slight soreness , also relieves the awful soreness of piles as well as arthritis. Like where people gets a bump accidently and it comes up the following day, a black eye for an example. Saves the embarrassment of explaining to people what really happened when they see you with a black eye !!!!! ('Cause will they really believe you????? That sort of thing.

Weeds, We Often Refer To Them Now As Herbs. There Are Different Weeds (herbs) For Different Ailments. I Use Astringent Herbs With Similar Essential Oil (myrrh) To Enhance It's Properties For Bruising Etc. Very Effective Too.
