Apply a cold pack for 1/2 hour to an hour a day for a day or two right after you get a bruise. Also elevate the bruised area above the heart, if its on your leg lay down and prop your leg up above your heart level. If you keep standing, more blood will flow to your bruised shin and the bruise will grow faster.

Most bruises will disappear after 2 weeks, and some go away even sooner. However, if a bruise does not go away after 2 weeks, let your parent know.

To help reduce swelling or the amount of bruising after an injury, apply a cold compress to the bruise for at least 10 minutes. And be sure to wear a helmet and protective pads to avoid bruises altogether!

Use arnica. Gently rub a small amount on the bruise. I don't know why you would, though. I like the way they look. They're fun to show off.
