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.
Once a bruise has formed, however, not much can be done to treat it. Most bruises eventually disappear as your body reabsorbs the blood â although healing might take longer as you age. It might help to elevate the affected area and apply ice. If the sight of a bruise bothers you, cover it with clothing or makeup. You might not be able to eliminate easy bruising. However, taking simple steps to protect your skin and avoid injury can help you try to stay bruise-free.
