Have you ever experienced bruising or bruising? Usually bruises appear bluish, purple or green on the surface of the skin. Bruising can make you less confident, especially if the location is clearly visible. Take it easy, here are tips for treating bruises quickly that you can try.
Why can bruises appear?
Bruises are usually caused by accidents, collisions, or strikes that occur in certain parts of the body. These collisions cause rupture of blood vessels under the skin. The blood will then come out of the blood vessels and cause discoloration, swelling, and pain. In plain view you will see a blackish and bluish color on your skin. Then bruising will turn purple to green and yellow, which can interfere with your appearance.
How to quickly treat bruises
Normally, bruises will disappear within 10-14 days without treatment. Although bruises can disappear on their own, you can do various ways to speed up the healing of the bruise. Check out various tips on treating bruises and reducing the following pain.
1. Compress ice
Compress with ice as soon as possible. If you compress blood vessels around the area of bruising, the blood coming out to the surrounding tissue will be small. Simply use a cloth that has been soaked in cold water and paste it on the bruise area for approximately 10 minutes.
Another way you can do this is to use bags containing frozen vegetables or ice cubes, then wrap them in a towel. Apply to the bruise for 10 minutes, then release. Compress again about 20 minutes later.
2. Warm compresses
After treating bruises with ice packs, the next day you need to compress warm to smooth blood circulation in the area of bruising and help cleanse stagnant blood. Stick the heating bag (electric heating pad)for 20 minutes. Repeat several times a day. Be sure to follow the instructions from heating pad.
Don't worry if you don't have an electric heating bag, you can use a bottle filled with hot water to treat the bruise. Warm compresses will certainly make you very comfortable because it can reduce swelling, relieve pain, and accelerate cell regeneration.
3. Apply arnica ointment
Arnica is a recommended herbal plant for reducing bruising. Arnica contains natural substances that can reduce inflammation and swelling. Brush the ointment or arnica gel in the bruised area every day.
However, choose an ointment or gel that has received marketing authorization from the POM (Drug and Food Supervisor) and has obtained an SNI certificate (Indonesian National Standard). Because, currently there are many circulating dangerous herbal medicines if you are not careful choosing.
4. Use parsley leaves (parsley)
Besides arnica, parsley or parsley leaves are also good for treating bruises. Apply finely ground parsley leaves around the bruise. Then wrap this bruise area with a soft bandage or cloth. Some studies have found that parsley can reduce inflammation, pain, and make bruising disappear faster.
5. Vitamin K
Other effective medicines are vitamin K cream. Vitamin K cream can help blood clots. Apply this cream twice a day to the bruise area to prevent further bleeding. Again, pay attention to the product packaging before buying cream at a store or pharmacy. Make sure the product has pocketed BPOM's distribution permit and SNI certificate.
