Every second ointment that is sold in a pharmacy promises to quickly remove the bruise. However, not all of them cope with their task. Sometimes folk remedies and medicines fight the problem more effectively.
Bruises do not appear on their own. This is the most common damage. And hardly anyone in my life has ever come across hematomas. We may not even notice small spots. But large bruises cause discomfort. This becomes especially clear when a problem occurs on the face.
In essence, a bruise is blood that appears under the skin due to rupture of a vessel. This is due to a blow. Hematomas occur on their own or accompany serious injury. Symptoms of bruising are pain, color change, and slight swelling. Most often, the hematoma simply resolves. However, sometimes, if the bruise is treated incorrectly, the result is the formation of cysts and suppuration, and sometimes even infection. Then urgently should see a doctor.
Immediately after the impact, so that a bruise does not form, you need to apply cold for several hours. This must be done as early as possible. Very good help vodka cold compresses. To do this, water and vodka are mixed (1: 1), and the liquid is poured into ice molds. Wipe the bruised place or an already appeared bruise 4 times a day with cold cubes.
