Hi
Thanks for posting on HCM
If bruises just superficail, a proper hygiene will do.Regular cleaning with an anti-septic solution like betadine may help.Also, his blood sugar will have to be well controlled as if poorly controlled, wound healing may not be easy.
If bruises do not dry up in a few days, you see the Doctor for reevaluation and to consider prescription of antibiotics.
Hope this will help
Best regards
