But there are some things you can do to help this process along, or to minimize the formation of large, dark bruises in the first place. One way to help bruises fade is to stem the initial flow of blood quickly after a traumatic injury. Ice should be applied to a bruised area as soon as possible to reduce the number of small bleeders contributing to the injury.
Treat bruises on your skin by limiting the bleeding. You can do this by cooling the area with a cold compress (a flannel or cloth soaked in cold water) or an ice pack wrapped in a towel. To make an ice pack, place ice cubes or a packet of frozen vegetables in a plastic bag and wrap them in a towel.
