    The insides of a plumb, or a bannana skin. Stick it on your bruise for up to 15 minutes and within the next 3 hours it should dissapear completely because of the chemicals and oils. This also works on spots and blackheads/scratches. If you get sticky afterwards, do NOT wash off as the method will not work, just sit back and it will soak in to your clean-to-be skin. :)

    My best solution is to use a topical makeup, the same shade of your own skin. Take lots of extra vitamin C because it's water soluble,and won't hurt U, but there are a few who take too much, who may get loose stools, and then I'd tell them, try rose hops and co lated types which are coated, but lots of fruits and juiced (providing you are weight conscious, or diabetic could help.

    Source(s): Mens well as females sometimes use a topical cover up such as a make-up. It helps if you are getting your picture taken professionally, but they too can do some camouflaging with photo's. Don't let that part of the skin be seen, but if you are a slow healer, *(many of us are) just be careful and up foods with lots of vitamin C, like many vegetables have it, cabbage cauliflower, etc.--if people see it enough on you, they will wonder if you are being "abused by another person too"! Short sleeves show more skin, so watch what U wear.l

    A bruise is a wound on the inside of your skin from busted blood vessels. Because it is not external, there is no way to make it heal quicker. Until then, if you're worried about how it'll look, use makeup.

    Hope I helped :)
