How does one make bruises go away quicker?
Nothing can make them go away faster. Your body has to metabolically eat the blood that leaked out, and repair the holes created by the shock waves imparted on your flesh. Icing it will only combat bruising if you ice your injury immediately after it happens. If you’ve had it for a few hours already, you should think more about covering it up or thinking up a good excuse. Or, you could be honest so that you don’t have to worry or lie about it. Hell, it might be a funny story unless you have a significant other.
