Question : Hi Doctor, I woke up this morning with this circle bruise on my forehead with no recollection of how it got there. There is no swelling and is smooth to the touch, but I have begun to develop headaches in the past half hour (not too sure if associated or not), but have been fine for the remainder of the day. I am concerned about if there are any home remedies I can use to reduce the appearance of it given how prominent the position it is in. Thanks

Brief Answer:
Try heparine cream.

Detailed Answer:
Hello!

Thank you for the query.

Unfortunately there is not much you can do to make it go away faster. This blood in soft tissues needs to be digested by your immune system. This process can take even a week or two.
You may try to apply cream containing hemaprine, but do not expect much from this solution. It needs time to disappear.

Hope this will help. Feel free to ask further questions.
Regards.
