The salt as a vasodialator (open your blood vessels) therefore reducing swelling and pain. It also can help bruising by allowing your blood to flow better. It helps heal cuts and scrapes. It can also help slough off dead skin cells.
Hope this helps

a podiatrist told me to soak my feet in epsom salt after he cut out one of my ingrown nails. it helps reduce the swelling and pain, and also makes your feet soft and easy to work with.

if you have open sores that are infected, it can help. It supposedly helps with bruises too.
The box that the salt comes in gives a good list of uses.
