Most bruises are harmless and fade over a couple of weeks. These are the common mistakes that cause trouble. This is general information, not medical advice.
See a healthcare professional for bruises with no clear cause, very large or painful bruises, bruises that keep growing or come with a hard lump, easy bruising while on blood thinners, or bruising after a significant injury.
Cold compresses are commonly suggested during the first day or two, with warmth sometimes used later. Ask a healthcare professional what is right for you.
Pressing hard on a fresh bruise can hurt and may make it worse. Be gentle.
Topical products, including arnica products, are for intact skin. The ArnicaPatch label says for external use on intact skin only. Never use it over cuts, wounds or incisions.
Bruises change color and fade on their own timeline. The current ArnicaPatch listing describes targeted relief of swelling and pain associated with bruising. This does not establish that the patch makes bruises disappear faster.
