Bruise treatment
From DrKoop's partner site on diet and exercise, MyDietExercise.com
Ice should be applied immediately to an area that is injured to reduce swelling and diminish the black-and-blue discoloration of bruising. Ice packs may be alternated with a heat pack for the next 48 hours. Although bruising may be reduced by this method, some discoloration will still be visible.
