Learn about these natural ways to make bruises disappear quickly.
Visible, but harmless (1/12)
Bruises, also known as petechiae, occur when a blood vessel under the skin is damaged, usually from a blow. Blood leaks out of the capillaries and spills into the surrounding tissue, causing a change in skin color.
Where are they from? (2/12)
These types of bruises are caused by fragile blood vessels, exposure to certain medications, vitamin deficiencies, and even injuries and bruises that are often minor, harmless, and forgotten.
Don’t worry (3/12)
Often, an occasional bruise is nothing to worry about. This way, you can get rid of the problem naturally. However, if you notice that you are frequently bruising for no apparent reason, accompanied by severe pain or unusual swelling, see your doctor.

Cold is always a good idea to help a bruise go away. To reduce inflammation and relieve pain, place an ice pack or a bag of frozen vegetables wrapped in a cloth on the bruise and hold it there for a few minutes.
