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.
1 Place ice on the bruise to help it heal faster and to reduce swelling. 2  Wrap the ice in a clean towel -- do not place ice directly on the skin. 3  Apply the ice for up to 15 minutes each hour. 4  Keep the bruised area raised above the heart, if possible. 5  This helps keep blood from pooling in the bruised tissue.
