How To Treat Bruise Under Right Eye Inspite Of Using Arnica Gel?
Hi, about a month or so ago I got into a fight, it resulted in me having a black eye. I Treated it with arnica gel and cold compresses. The swelling, pain and the majority of the bruise went down relatively quick but I was left with slight but noticeable bruising under my right eye. Since then it doesn t seem to have went down much at all, I m worried it may be permanent. What could I do to speed up the healing process? I d rather not go to a doctor if possible.

Hi,
This happens from bleeding under the skin. As the extravasated blood is degraded gradually, it changes colour from red to blue, and finally becomes dark.
The dark colour will take few more weeks to disappear, but it will. Apart from cold compresses in the acute stage(till the swelling is gone), no other options to speedup this.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
