Thanks for posting you query to health care magic.
did you develop bruise after any injury or it develop itself.as there is no pain and swelling so posibilities of infection is rare, it could be due to some injury or allergy . non infected bruise usually heal without treatment in 10-14 days but if you are having pain or swelling you can take any antiinflammatory medication.Naproxan and ibuprofen both are these kind of drug but I prefer Ibuprofen .
Hope you would be satisfied with my answer . Feel free to communicate if any query .
