What can I use to get the bruise appearance out of the skin?

It's swollen and turning yellow. It's less then 24 hours old and I need to make it go away real fast.

Yellow is one of the last colors a bruise turns, so it should be close to going away on its own.


To speed it up: since it's less than 48 hours old, ice may help limit the severity of the bruise and will decrease the swelling. Also, arnica creams (can be found at your pharmacy) are supposed to make bruises heal faster. Avoid putting heat on the bruise for 48 hours as that can make it worse. Take an anti-inflammatory as well.
