does anyone know of a good (or somewhat good or even a little good!) way of speeding up the healing of a bruise? i have one on the back of my leg (i think a little burst capillary or something) that is VERY noticeable. i hope someone can help!!
ps:my show is in 4 weeks, i'm just nervous the bruise won't be gone by then.

with the tan you shouldn't be able to tell, I bruise really easily and have asked my doc's if there is anything I can do to speed up recovery, they said after you start seeing the bruising it is too late and you have to let it run its course. For my shows any bruises I have had can't be seen on stage through the tan...good luck

well i'm pleased to say the bruise is gone (FINALLY). you're right sprinter about letting it run its course. i'd been told the protan would cover it regardless, but at least i don't have to worry about it anymore!

If you are taking gingko or large amounts of vitamin E, then STOP. They can thin out your blood and prevent it from clotting, and therefore also prevent bruises from healing quickly.

no gingko that i know of. and there's some vit E in my multi, but that's it. i don't generally bruise easily. this occurred after an intense leg workout and sprinting at the track, so i'm guessing i must've burst a little cappillary or something like that as i don't remember knocking into anything. regardless, is all better now. :)

It sounds like you're deficient in Vitamin C. Make sure you take a multivitamin/multimineral each day, and your bruising should diminish.
