Suggest Treatment For Bruised Foot
Question: I bruised the bottom of my foot. Shall I treat it with heat or cold or none of the above?d
Brief Answer:
Bruise treatment
Detailed Answer:
Thank you for contacting HCM with your health care concerns
You have a bruise on the bottom of your foot probably from taking aspirin. The usual treatment is ice the first 24 hours and then heat. The ice reduces the blood flow to an area injured reducing the size of the bruise. After 24 hours heat helps bring in more circulation and allows the area to remove the blood from the bruise quicker.
