Ouch! That must have hurt. I remember when I was 13 and practicing at home for my acrobatic recital, I was doing running dive cartwheels from the kitchen, through the doorway (no door, just a frame) into the living room and nearly broke my toe hitting the frame. The only thing to cover a bruise is to get some Cover Stick or foundation makeup that matches your skin. I hope that helps.

Massaging the bruise may help too, it helps to break up the clot so your body can reabsorb it faster. Taking a multivitamin with iron in it may also help a little. But try massaging/rubbing the bruise and whatever is left, cover up!

Ice 20 Mins, heat 20 Mins, and massage a little and repeat. It gets the blood flowing so it doesn't stay pooled in one area.

Ouch! That sounds like a painful bruise incident! I hope it heals soon

Unfortunately, I don't know any ways to speed up bruise fading. The suggestions that people have made sound interesting, please post a message saying if you find any of them effective. I have a giant bruise on my ankle from a rather embarrassing vault crash last week, haha, and I would love to know if there are any helpful remedies.

Let us know, and happy healing!

You can usually find Arnica gel or Arnica Montana homeopathic pellets at health food stores or online. I have gotten it at vitamin places as well.
