Just wondering if any one has any advice on how to make a bruise go away (or rather heal) a little bit faster? I recently had to have an IV in my arm and a mark and bruie from where it was and just want the nasty mark to go away like NOW! Any information would be really helpful
Thak you

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 I've its called a hematoma basically it's 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 definitely 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.

Yes, no problem, there is a herbal cream. Its straight forward and bruising is gone within 3 days if not less of applying it. Email me through the thread.

A cream I make from weeds and essential oils which reduces bruising and minor sprains, where one accidentally 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 accidentally 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.

"cream I make from weeds and essential oils "
What kind of weeds and essential oils?

missmarple · Feb 1, 2008, 02:08 PM

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.
