how do i get rid of this?


Question:
i banged my knee on the side of my piano and now i've got this nasty black and blue bruise on it. its not that big but you can still see it. any ideas on how to get rid of the bruise?

Answers:
Time is the best medicine for a bruise, but to prevent them, make sure you're getting enough vitamins. Eat fruit, that's full of vitamins, right?

If it's been there for a long time you might have done something to the vein maybe? I know i have somthing like that, a blue spot on my leg.

If it REALLY bothers you, cover it up! I suggest pants, capris, longer skirts, leggings wtih shorter skirts...the possibilities are endless!

I think the best way to get rid of a problem is to fix it as much as you possibly can, and then let it go! If it's a scar type thing, it comes with story, right? So strut your stuff!!!

Other Answers:
make up
Unfortunately there is no way to get rid of a bruise. It will eventually disappear on it's own. Be careful next time!
Time will help, but usually running hot water around the air will help circulate the blood and repair the damaged capillaries.

Take a hot bath!
lemon juice
soak your knee in warm water and Epsom's salts
draw some design around it and call it a tatoo.
You could cover it with self-tanning lotion.

But the previous answerer is correct - only time will heal it.
time
physically it will have to dissipate otherwise use make up to cover it up if it bothers you.
How to get rid of it - TIME
How to cover it up - MAKE-UP
bruises are caused by bloodflow outside of the capilaries

taking a hot bath will make it worse

Ice the area well and the bruise will not get as much blood and will go away quicker
to make the pain go away use Icy Hot!
to make it unnoticeable put on make up!
Time... that's all it takes... time.
Time my dear time.....
rubbing lemon juice on it will help and ice.
Use Arnica. It's a homeopathic remedy that's amazing for bruises where the skin is not broken. You can even use if on animal - it's that safe.
lot of ice
i'd say time..and massage! just dont press down on it very much..make it feel like u would want on yor back!
a bruise is nothing more than blood pooling under the skin due to a broken capillaries and the more painful deep ones are broken blood vessels. You can break it up with a light massage now if it is a deep bruise wait until it starts to turn colors. That is the stage where other cells come and "eat" the dead blood cells. If you have a huge deep bruise DO NOT massage because it can cause the clot to break away and you don't want to take a chance of that. You should know if it is a serious bruise considering it's you body.
