Ok, so yesterday I fell on a skateboard pretty badly and now I have bruises all over my body. Big ones. I wouldn't really care that much, but coz it's summer and it's too hot to wear jeans and long-sleeved shirts, and skirts and tops don't exactly cover the bruises... and the bruises really make me look like I was beaten up badly. So I was just wondering if there might be some creams or lotions or whatever that would help the bruises heal faster. Help would be muchly appreciated! Thanks.
get a four once bottle of witch hazel, and a bottle of Tincture of Arnica. Pour about one ounce, or 1/4 of the bottle of witch hazel out, and replace with tincture of arnica. It should now look like iced tea. Apply it several times a day. It will help take the color out of the bruises. Your pharmacist can order the Tincture of Arnica for you for the next day, if they don't have it, and if you know a cool pharmacist, he or she will mix it for you. Don't take any aspirin or anti-inflamatories, they will cause you to bleed more. Applying heat will help with the bruises, but it will also increase pain, if you have any.
