What Is The Treatment For A Red Mark On The Cheek?
I was in the bathroom and the door was slightly open. As I was walking out from the bathroom, by brother came from the other side of the hallway and went to close the bathroom door. He didn t know I was in there since the light had already been shut off, and as he was closing the door and I was leaving the bathroom, I hit by cheek on the edge of the door. Now I have a red mark on cheek. It s not really lumpy and it s not cut or anything. But the area is clearly red and almost looks as though someone who was wearing red lipstick had kissed my upper cheek and left a mark. How long will the mark stay for?

BRUISE
hi
Welcome to Healthcare Magic Forum
You have developed a bruise over your skin due to injury,
A bruise develops due to internal tear in blood vessels and bleeding.
Just apply thrombophobe or hirudoid cream over the affected area.
Thrombophob ointment contains Heparin-Benzyl Nicotinate which improves the blood supply and prevents clots. so it will help in faster clearing of the clotted blood.
And you can take oral vitamin C 500 mg twice a day orally for rapid healing.
Hope it helps
