The most common symptom that occurs after trauma to the area of the eye socket and eye is the appearance of a hematoma, or, in common people, a bruise. A hematoma occurs due to damage to small blood vessels and the penetration of blood into friable subcutaneous fat. Naturally, the appearance of a hemorrhage spoils the appearance, and therefore immediately a logical question arises as to how to get rid of a bruise. There are a great many possible ways, but the ointment from bruises and bruises under the eyes showed the greatest efficiency. Let's look at what ointments for bruises exist, how to apply them in order to get rid of the hematoma under the eye as soon as possible.
First aid
The very first aid that should be given to the patient is cold or ice at the site of the bruise, and if possible, heparin ointment under the eyes is immediately applied. The use of a cooling dressing contributes to the rapid spasm of blood vessels and, as a result, a decrease in blood output and a decrease in the volume of hematoma.
With minor injuries, the effect of a cold compress occurs almost immediately, but in case of severe injury, accompanied by the release of a large amount of blood under the skin, it is necessary to seek qualified medical help. With severe bruising, a puncture may be required to remove blood residues and blood clots.
Heparin ointment
After getting a bruise, there is a need to apply ointment at the site of injury? Bruise? Reviews on the use of heparin ointment are the most positive, because quick application after getting a bruise helps to reduce the inflammatory process and a pronounced antithrombotic effect. In addition, anestezin , which is part of the heparin ointment, has a local anesthetic effect. The ointment is applied in a thin layer on the surface of the skin, after which it is rubbed gently in circular movements. Repeat the procedure 2-3 times a day.
Despite the fact that heparin
ointment is used
from bruises and bruises under the eyes often, it has its contraindications. So, its use is not recommended for thrombocytopenia, decreased blood coagulability, open wounds with bleeding, ulcerative necrotic processes. With extreme caution, ointment should be applied in the paraorbital region, avoiding contact with eyes.
If we compare the drugs in terms of cost and effectiveness, then a relatively inexpensive heparin ointment, the price of which is lower than analogues and is about 60 rubles, has almost the same efficiency as expensive branded analogues. This is primarily due to the lack of overpayment for the pharmaceutical brand. Due to the low cost, such a thing should be in every medicine cabinet, because when a heparin ointment is applied, the bruise under the eye regresses much faster.
Lyoton-Gel
"Lyoton-gel" is an analogue of the aforementioned ointment, only in gel form. Like sodium heparin, it has a pronounced antithrombotic and antiexudative effect, and to a lesser extent - anti-inflammatory.
A small strip of gel should be applied to the site of injury and rubbed in circular motions from one to three times a day. Of the contraindications to the use of Lyoton-gel, it is worth noting open wound surfaces, especially with bleeding, and a violation of the blood coagulation system. Also, do not apply the gel with hypersensitivity to the drug and purulent skin lesions.
"Troxevasin"
"Troxevasin" is an effective ointment for bruises and edema, which produces an angioprotective effect on the capillaries of the microvasculature and veins. The ointment's functioning mechanism is based on the reduction of pores between endothelial cells, which helps to reduce vascular wall permeability and red blood cell aggregation. In addition, the ointment is characterized by a small anti-inflammatory effect.
It should be used twice a day, applying to intact skin areas, massaging movements to achieve complete penetration of the ointment into the skin. For a pronounced effect, long-term use is recommended.
Of the contraindications, it should be noted increased sensitivity to the drug, pregnancy, peptic ulcer of the gastrointestinal tract, chronic gastritis, kidney disease.
"Badyaga-Forte" as a remedy for bruising under the eyes
"Tramp" is an equally well-known ointment for bruises and bruises under the eyes. It contains natural ingredients in the form of microorganisms that have unique cosmetological properties. This ointment produces an anti-inflammatory and absorbable effect, dulling pain. The therapeutic effect is based on mechanical stimulation by crushed silicon needles of the epithelial cells of the skin, resulting in vasodilation and, as a result, increased blood supply. Active blood circulation at the site of application and provides a good absorbable effect. It is these properties that make "Badyaga" so popular in cosmetology and medical practice.
It should be applied to the skin for 10-20 minutes, gently massaging the area of injury. After this, the drug is washed off with warm water. Among the features of the application, it is necessary to note the increased sensitivity to the components of the drug, as well as to prevent the drug from getting into the eyes.
"Witch hazel" as a homeopathic remedy for bruises
Even among homeopathic remedies, there are ointment forms that contribute to the speedy disappearance of a bruise. Having a venotonic effect, this drug helps to strengthen the vascular wall, improve microcirculation, and eliminate venous stasis.
The ointment form is applied to the site of the bruise twice a day, and the course of treatment is two weeks. After a month, the course of the ointment should be repeated. The main contraindications to the drug are hypersensitivity and disorders of the blood coagulation system.
Accelerating Recovery Process
There are several simple ways that activate the recovery process after getting a bruise. So, the priority is the use of cold or ice. However, the application of cold is justified only during the first few minutes after receiving a bruise and is subsequently ineffective. This is due to stopping bleeding and the formation of blood clots in the vessels. Therefore, to accelerate the resorption of the hematoma in a later period, it is recommended to use heat in the form of a heating pad or bath. In the evening, it is also recommended to apply ointment from bruises and bruises under the eyes after taking a bath, when the skin is steamed and its pores are open. As a heat source, an ordinary heating pad filled with not too hot water is also perfect.
An excellent effect is also observed from light massage movements around the bruised area. Light circular movements should massage the area, which contributes to the quickest resorption of the hematoma due to increased microcirculatory blood flow. Massage movements can be combined with a therapeutic effect, applying an ointment from bruises and swelling.
Makeup as an emergency remedy for bruising under the eye
It may happen that the appearance of a bruise under the eye is so unexpected that it is necessary to get rid of it as soon as possible, that is, within a few hours. Then makeup comes to the rescue.
An experienced professional makeup artist is able to make up in a few minutes in such a way that no one will ever guess about the existence of a bruise. However, this is a temporary event, which is carried out at the most critical moment.
Healthy and strong vascular wall
In order to increase the resistance of the vascular wall to the traumatic factor and reduce hemorrhage, it is necessary in the diet to increase the number of products containing vitamins C, K, PP, which are essential for the maturation and formation of collagen, which is part of the vessel wall.
So, in a daily diet it is necessary to introduce white cabbage, carrots, apricots, citrus fruits and other vegetables and fruits with a high content of vitamins of this group.
Conclusion
And the most important thing! A good ointment for bruises is the absence of bruises. It is much easier to prevent an injury or illness than to treat it later. However, if you still could not avoid getting a bruise, following the above recommendations, the recovery will be much faster.
