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.
Bruises occur when blood is released from the capillaries and is trapped under the skin. The good news is that by the time you notice a bruise, itâs already well on its way to healing. A bruise is commonly tender and sometimes even painful for the first few days, but the pain usually goes away as the color fades. Because the skin is not broken in a bruise as with a scrape or cut there is no risk of infection. Bruises typically take 2 weeks to heal/disappear.
