Previously, lead lotion was applied for bruises. This solution could be bought at a pharmacy. It is now banned for use, and heparin ointments are now prescribed to treat bruises. They promote rapid resorption of the subcutaneous hematoma.

People use bodyaga. This freshwater sponge has a local irritating effect and helps the outflow of accumulated blood from the subcutaneous tissue.

But you can take action even before a bruise forms. Did you hit? Apply ice to the bruised area (no ice - even frozen chicken from the refrigerator will do). This way you will quickly cause vasospasm, and the volume of hemorrhage into the affected area will be less. Wrap the ice in gauze and hold it on the bruise for 20–30 minutes.

Large bruises may fester, but this is quite difficult to miss: you will notice redness, pain and even fever. In this case, be sure to consult a doctor.
