Question: yes I fell hard about one and half months ago full on my facwe on the left side I am 73 yrs old and trying to heal an hemotoma and it partially bruised on the cheek and still sore is there any way to heal this up?? I have been using heat.
Brief Answer:
you can try using vit K cream over it
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
Usually whatever procedure is to be done to heal a bruise you are already doing it.
Applying ice for first 48hrs followed by heat compression to make it heal faster.
Bruise is nothing but broken capillaries under skin where the blood has spilled just beneath the skin.
It usually takes days to absorb the blood and making the bruise dissappear.
You can try applying Vitamin K cream over the bruised area as vit K is known to cause faster coagulation and thus usually helps to accelerate bruise healing.
Apply the cream gently over the area twice a day.
I hope with this advice your bruise will heal faster.
I hope i have answered your query well.
If you have any more query kindly write back to me will be happy to answer them.
