Answers:
Icing the bruise as soon as possible after the injury will limit the severity of the bruise. Ice will be effective for the first 48 hours after the injury (although the sooner, the better).
Avoid heat for those same 48 hours, including hot showers/baths, because heat can increase the severity of the bruise. After 48 hours you can use heat for pain relief but it won't help heal the bruise.
Arnica is supposed to help bruises heal faster; I've never used it myself, but I have heard positive things from people who have. You can find arnica creams in any pharmacy.Health Question & Answer
