Arnica Cream (which can be bought at most herbal shops & Boots - i think). This will make the bruise come out.. and will help heal..

The first step once you notice a bruise is simple: apply ice to it. This might seem kind of silly or just too easy, but it works amazingly and it really makes a difference in the amount of time it takes to heal your bruises. To apply ice to your bruises, first make some ice using your freezer. Then place a few ice cubes into a ziplock bag. If it is too cold to place the bag directly onto your flesh, wrap a towel around the bag of ice. Keep the ice on your bruise for at least ten minutes. Then you can let your bruise thaw out for about 10 more minutes, and put your ice bag back into the freezer. Repeat as often as possible for you.
The next magical formula for healing bruises is to apply Arnika Gel. This gel is made from a plant called Arnika. This is a gel that you simply apply to your skin. It works for bruises and muscle pains. It's all natural and doesn't cost very much compared to some of the other creams or gels that are on the market. The best reason to use this gel is that it will speed up the process of healing your bruises and muscles. You should reapply the gel every hour or so. But don't forget to keep icing your bruise too. The two of these put together will increase your body's healing capabilities a lot.
The last thing you can do to help heal is to eat lots of fruits and vegetables. The reason you want to eat these healthy and natural foods is that your body will spend less energy digesting and breaking down the food you eat, and more time healing your bruises. Eat many different types of fruits of different colors: yellow, orange, red and blue. Do this because each fruit will give you different nutrients that you body might be lacking. This will also speed up your healing process. Eat lots of green leafy vegetables too, because those will help your body to clean itself out. Once you've cleared yourself of any negative substances, your body will be working at it's optimum power to heal all of your aches and pains.

Bruises are basically blood where the vessels have been broken by punching,, as it is now a few days after the incident the blood will have clotted so the best home remedy would be by massaging the bruises towards the heart eg if they are on the arm massage upwards.
I would use ultra sound but that costs!

They may be superficial bruises.
Just give enough time and they should disappear. You could use skin soothing creams to hasten the process.
If the bruising is deeper check with a doctor for there may be tissue damage.

Arnaka cream or witch hazel will bring the bruise to the surface faster. ideally it should be used once the bruise starts to appear but it might still help

Unfortunately time is the only cure. If the bruises are very large or dark he should see a doctor as he may have a hematoma.

witch hazel, which you can get at any good pharmacy tends to be good at reducing bruising quicker
