The best thing to do for bruises in cold
soaks in the coldest water you can get.
Ice water isn't necessary. Do that for
about 15 minutes every hour or two.
Putting Vaseline on a bruise immediately
after you've gotten it will considerably
diminish the appearance of the bruise.

It is more important in my case, but
sometimes, can be just as important in
other ppl as well...
Make sure to keep an eye on your pain. If
the pain does not remain localised to the
area of bruising...especially if your
joints starts hurting, it could be that
one of your bones/joints has gotten
injured and inflamation has set in (Just a
normal reaction of the body trying to cure
the injury). This however needs to be
treated with anti-inflamatories so it does
not spread (Which it can).
If it does escalate, the best might be
either a voltaren-gel product or a visit
to a local GP for anti-inflam.
Just stating...in terms of "Prevention is
better than cure". It's definately not a
certainty that inflammation would
set-in...just something to be aware of.
