what helps a bruise
A Aaron Nelson , NASM Elite Trainer , Sports Medicine, answered. The best treatment for a bruised heal is ice and rest. Over-the-counter (OTC) medications can be used to treat the pain and inflammation. You can also use heal cups in your shoes to help protect and cushion the bruise while it heals. Heal cups can be found in different styles and sizes at most stores that have a medicine and bracing section.
Dermend Moisturizing Bruise Formula Cream ($30, cvs.com) is one topical treatment you can use daily if you're prone to bruising. You can also use it when you have a bruise since itâs infused with arneca, a flower that increases blood circulation and treats inflammation, says Nazarian.
