If your bruise does not require an evaluation by a doctor, you may be able to use home treatment to help relieve pain, swelling, and stiffness. 1  Rest and protect a bruised area.  Ice will reduce pain and swelling. Apply ice or cold packs immediately to prevent or minimize swelling.
Ice your bruise for about 15 minutes every few hours for the first few days after incurring a bruise. Icing reduces inflammation and swelling, helping the bruise heal quickly. 2. Apply a warm compress after day two. After reducing inflammation with ice, you can apply a warm compress (not hot) directly to the bruise.
