can u get rid of a bruise like a hickey?

I have heard you can get rid of a hickey with toothpaste, is there something similar I can do for a bruise? My 18 m/o fell and hit the side of his nose and I'm sure its going to bruise right around his eye. I don't want people to think I hit my kids so I just want to know other than conceiling it if there is a way to make it "heal" faster or go away or soemthing, its gonna be bad.

    I very much doubt toothpaste does anything for hickeys. I think only time can heal bruises. Don't be worried about people thinking you beat your kid. Honestly it will look worse if you try to conceal it as people will then think you have something to hide. An 18 months old with bruises, there is nothing more natural than that. They're just learning to walk and run around, testing the limits of their new mobility, jumping, throwing themselves around, etc... so yes they fall a lot and get lots of bruises, scratches and such. If anyone even asks just tell the truth: he lost his balance and fell while running or jumping around or whatever he was doing.

    stop letting boys suck on your neck, that's how you get rid of a hickey. This one will eventually go away, but there is nothing you can do to speed it up. People used to tell me to put toothpaste on it, and I did like a goofball lol. I am not perfect, I have done it too in the past, but I regret it!

    Kids get bruises all the time! Unless he is getting black eyes on a regular basis I wouldn't worry about it too much! No-one is going to think you beat your kids because of one bruise, regardless of how bad it is! I'm sure the people that count will know you don't beat your kids, and as long as they know, I wouldn't worry about anyone else! Relax, I'm sure you have nothing to worry about!

    Don't worry tell the truth and don't hide anything! You did nothing wrong. P.S. Trying to hide the bruise would make some think it's NOT just an accident.

    i think the worst thing you could do is try and conceal it. if someone notices you have concealed it, they will be more suspicious than if you just left it:) well thats my opinion anyway, hope this helped!

    You can go to the doctor for it. Or you can wait until it's gone.
