Apply the tips below to remove bruises.

Ice pack

When you hit the edge of a table and feel a sharp pain, you know for sure that there will be a blue, purple or black bruise in that place in 1-2 days.

Don't wait to see if a bruise appears, as it may be too late. Use a plastic bag filled with ice and apply it directly to the affected area, or use a cold pack filled with blue liquid sold at drug stores, put it in the freezer for a few hours and then apply it to the wound (this is easier to use and less likely to bleed than a plastic bag filled with ice, works just as well, but is more expensive of course).

Egg Roll

Chicken eggs are very effective in dissolving bruises. On the surface of the egg there are tiny holes - very small pipes leading to the yolk. When used, they are usually boiled and then rolled onto the bruise, so the egg is still quite hot.

Therefore, it will have suction pressure on the yellow core. Persistently do this method, the bruise will disappear quickly.

Apply ice to the painful area for 15 minutes, remove for 15 minutes, and apply again for 15 minutes…continue doing this for several hours immediately after the injury. According to Dr. Hugh M. (Aspen Hospital Emergency Department, Colorado), ice has the effect of constricting the capillaries leading to the wound, preventing much blood from reaching it.

A bruise is caused by blood pooling around the injured area. The less blood that reaches the wound, the smaller the bruise will be. In addition, cold also numbs the wound, reducing pain.

Heat the next day

After applying ice to the bruise, you can rest assured that the bruise will not appear blue or purple the next day in mild cases. In severe cases, you may still see the bruise, but it will usually be pale and small.

This is when you can use heat to make the bruise disappear quickly. Use a towel soaked in very hot water, wring it dry and apply it to the bruise; rinse it off when it cools down; do this continuously for 1 to 2 hours depending on the size of the bruise.

Dr. Sheldon P. (Duke University School of Medicine) explains that heat helps blood circulate through the bruise faster, and thus makes the bruise disappear faster. This theory is probably not too strange. In Vietnam, you have seen people rub hot oil on bruises. This action is for no other purpose than to help blood circulate faster…

Anyway, the combination of cold and hot is definitely better than just using hot oil alone.

Use vitamin C

Vitamin C is also one of the most effective bruise-reducing medications. According to research from the University of North Carolina, people with low levels of vitamin C in their bodies tend to bruise more easily and bruises take longer to heal.

Vitamin C helps build protective collagen layers in the body. These layers are thinner on the feet, hands, and face; that’s why bruises in these areas tend to be more likely, darker, and take longer to fade.

So, if you find yourself bruising more easily than others, it's not because your skin is "more toxic", but because of your habit of consuming less vitamin C.

To reduce your chances of bruising, you can consume about 1,500 mg of vitamin C per day. You need to get your doctor's approval to take that much vitamin C. If you're too shy to see a doctor, try eating more foods rich in vitamin C, such as citrus fruits and dark green vegetables.

Vinegar

Cut a few slices of dried onion, mix with apple cider vinegar and apply to the bruised skin. Few people know that apple cider vinegar is very effective in treating inflammation, swelling, and injuries that cause bruising.

Simply soak a small cotton ball in apple cider vinegar and apply directly to the wound or mix it with egg whites to apply to the bruise.
