Vitamin trick
First, let's figure out why the "meeting" with the same corner of the office desk that "likes to pounce" on clunky workers, some have only a small bruise on their bodies, while others have a huge hematoma with a purple tint. Very brittle vessels and poor blood clotting can become the cause of bruising. The reason for this is the lack of such two important vitamins as C and K. Ascorbic, for example, promotes the regeneration of tissues and strengthens the walls of blood vessels. Its deficiency can promote the appearance of bruising, even with minor bruises. If bruises appear on the body, even from minor strokes, drink a course of multivitamins containing ascorbic acid. The dose of the vitamin there is usually sufficient. And nothing beyond the norm is no longer required. And if you want to take vitamin C in a free dosage, you risk causing a skin rash or earning kidney stones. Vitamin K also has a good effect on blood vessels. It properly enters the body with food and is synthesized in the intestine, so there is no need to use it additionally. However, if you are not sure of the strength of the vessels and eat poorly, consult a doctor before taking vitamin K. Its overdose can cause thickening of the blood.
Then in the heat, then in the cold
As soon as you hurt yourself, first of all attach to the place (provided that the skin is not damaged) ice. The cold will quickly narrow the blood vessels, and the blood will begin to flow more slowly to the place of impact. This will make the bruise less intense. Ice should be applied with interruptions, cooling the bruise for no more than 20 minutes. And in total do it not more than an hour. Otherwise, especially if you are cooling a large area of the body, chances are that you will catch a cold. It is also important not to forget that the cold should be "dry", so it's worth keeping it in a warmer or wrapped in a bag and a towel. To warm up the site of a bruise is necessary only on the second day, that is after the bruise is formed. Heat will dilate the blood vessels, and the hematoma will slowly begin to dissolve. If you start warming up earlier, the swelling will not only fail, but may also increase. With abrasions, this method is useless. Ice and heat will not play a big role in the regeneration of tissues. Therefore, just rinse the wound (for example, with peroxide and a weak solution of potassium permanganate), bandage or seal with a special band-aid with gauze pillow. The pain quickly subsides, and the wounds will gradually begin to tighten. Be careful with alcohol antiseptics. Strong abrasions can be lubricated with alcohol tinctures, the same iodine, but only at the edges. And in any case, you can not "pour" the entire surface.
What a bodega!
The cold on the first day and the heat - in the second, alas, not able to completely rid of the bruise. But you can accelerate the process of restoring tissues and walls of blood vessels. In pharmacies, many ointments are sold for getting rid of bruises. Some contain troxerutin, others - heparin sodium, others - some other active component. All of them are equally effective. If you use them according to the instructions (easy to rub in the place of injury in the morning and evening), then the bruise, naturally, will come down more quickly. But all the same it will pass all its "color" stages: it is inevitable. The only remedy that will help get rid of the bruise almost instantly, is the body spasm. Pharmacy powder from a freshwater sponge is diluted with hydrogen peroxide and applied to the affected area. The bodyworm well resolves infiltrates, but one must be very careful when applying it. And keep on the skin for no more than 20 minutes, otherwise, in addition to the bruise, you can get a strong irritation.
As if in oil
In the fight against bruises and abrasions, aromatherapy will help, she certainly knows how quickly she will get rid of bruises and abrasions. Promote the resorption of bruises and the healing of scratches essential oil of immortelle, rosemary and yarrow. Pain removes lavender, and swelling - mint and cypress. But the pure essential oil can not be applied to the skin, it is necessary to dilute it in base oil, for example, in olive oil. Therapeutic dose - 3 drops per 1 tsp. base.
Alarm call
If the bruise is large and causes severe discomfort, see a doctor. If serious hematomas can not be treated, there is a possibility that the infiltrate will not completely resolve, and then you will get a "bruise in the bag": it does not seem to be outside, but it still remains inside and can even be felt: it is a condensation under the fingers. To go to the clinic is also when the bruises slowly pass and appear often and "out of nowhere". In this case, the first thing to do is a clinical blood test. And with it to appear to the doctor-surgeon or hematologist. Bruises, as well as other hemorrhages, arising for no reason, can be the first signs of such dangerous diseases as blood cancer, hemophilia, lupus erythematosus. In this case, to verify the absence of an unpleasant disease will help laboratory research. And the treatment of "causeless" bruises locally does not make much sense until the causes of hemorrhage are established. Powder in powder in any case can not be used on sensitive areas and damaged skin (as well as drugstores from bruises).
