It is allowed to independently provide first aid to relieve pain using ointment for injuries.
There are some cases that encourage self-medication:

Badyaga treatment
Separately, I would like to tell you how badyaga works on subcutaneous hemorrhages. In its pure form, it is sold as a light green powder from the crushed skeleton of a freshwater sponge. Microscopic silica needles activate blood flow and reduce pain when pressing on a bruise. The powder is used for external purposes.
Badyaga increases the regeneration of the skin, improves metabolic and oxidative processes, smoothes out fine wrinkles, the skin acquires a uniform color and becomes more elastic.
The powder is first diluted with warm boiled water until a paste-like composition is obtained. The resulting mixture is applied to the problem area and left for 5 minutes, then washed off. Badyaga is a powerful remedy that helps you quickly forget about the problem; the skin on your face is incredibly soft.
To avoid burns, do not keep the lotion in one place for more than 5 minutes. This suspension can be applied 2 times a day.
There are also contraindications:
- Individual intolerance;
- Manifestation of allergic reactions;
- The presence of open wounds, cuts and abrasions;
- Exacerbated skin diseases.
If the hematoma is located near the eye, apply the paste with caution. The skin in this area is thin and sensitive; inaccurate movements lead to the substance getting into the mucous membrane. If this happens, immediately rinse your eyes with clean running water.
In addition to dry powder, gels and creams with badyagi are available in pharmacies. One of the effective remedies is Badyaga-Forte gel. The recipe is supplemented with plantain and yarrow extract. Do an allergy test before applying.

How to prepare ointment for bruises and bruises at home?
What is a bruise
A bruise or, scientifically, a hematoma, is a limited accumulation of blood under the skin as a result of tissue damage with rupture of small vessels. As soon as the blow occurs, the injury site turns red and a bruise appears on it. A little later, due to the lack of oxygen, the hemorrhage area begins to change color, becoming first blue-purple and then brown-yellow.
How quickly does a hematoma go away?
- hematoma on the face, forehead and under the eyes disappears in 6–8 days;
- bruises on the arms disappear in 7–10 days;
- bruises after injections resolve in approximately 3–5 days;
- the hematoma on the body disappears in about 14 days;
- The bruise on the leg lasts the longest - approximately 28 days.
By the way, women’s skin is more prone to the appearance of bruises, and all because the epidermis of the fair half of humanity is thinner than that of men. Moreover, women's bodies produce the hormone estrogen, which increases the permeability of vascular walls. This may explain the fact that women get bruises even from minor injuries. If this circumstance becomes a problem for a representative of the fair sex, the doctor may prescribe her vascular-strengthening and venotonic agents.
In addition, for different people with the same bruises, the size of the hematomas can differ significantly. If even with a minor injury a large bruise appears on the body, this is most likely due to the fragility of the blood vessels or poor blood clotting. The cause of such conditions is often a deficiency of vitamins C and K, which are important for the body. Vitamin C strengthens the walls of blood vessels and promotes tissue regeneration, which means that with its deficiency, a bruise on the body can appear even from a small injury. A person with this problem is recommended to take a course of ascorbic acid, as well as diversify the diet with oranges, lemons and black currants, which contain quite a lot of this vitamin. As for vitamin K, which improves blood clotting, it can be found in sorrel, nettle and cabbage.
Finally, some people face the problem of dark circles under the eyes. Most often, this phenomenon is a consequence of lack of sleep, although it may indicate problems with the cardiovascular system or kidney problems. If proper sleep and regular walks in the fresh air do not solve the problem, it makes sense to consult a doctor and undergo full treatment.
Traditional medicine tips
Traditional medicine has many recipes with which you can get rid of hematomas. Products that can be found in your home refrigerator are suitable for this purpose. It can be:
- cabbage leaves;
- saline solution;
- potato starch;
- beans;
- herbal decoctions;
- aloe;
- coltsfoot;
- iodine;
- honey and honey products;
- onion;
- beet.
Many ancient recipes say that a bruise can be removed within a day. This is not an entirely correct statement: it will not be possible to get rid of a hematoma in one day, but it is quite possible to lighten the bruise a little.
Important! Before using traditional medicine, you need to make sure there is no allergic reaction.
In order to check the skin's reaction to a particular component, it is enough to apply a small amount of the product to the wrist or elbow area. If after 10 minutes there is no swelling or redness at the application site, you can safely use it. Doctors do not recommend using traditional medicine recipes separately: their help is relevant in combination with pharmaceutical drugs.
Herbal decoction
The most popular decoction, which was used by our grandmothers, is a collection of several herbs. All dry ingredients are taken in equal parts and mixed in one container. These are coltsfoot, wild rosemary, yarrow, plantain.
A small part of the mixture, at least a tablespoon, is poured with a glass of boiling water and kept on low heat for about 10 minutes. Then the broth is filtered and used warm for lotions. If you add chamomile to the mixture, the bruise becomes lighter. Herbal infusions should be used no more than once every two hours.
Aloe
The juice of this amazing plant can be used in its pure form, but it has more life-giving properties with celandine and viburnum bark. All components are taken in equal parts and poured with a glass of boiling water. The resulting infusion, when warm, is used for lotions. It is necessary to apply cotton swabs soaked in infusion to the affected areas. After the procedure, be sure to blot the area with a soft towel. This remedy will help get rid of the bruise in 3-4 days.
Cabbage leaves
This remedy is considered universal for combating various ailments. Cabbage will also help to eliminate bruises on the face. The leaves must be freed from the veins and crushed so that the leaf releases juice. After this, you can apply it to the sore spot. This is one of the few remedies that can be used constantly. The more often you apply such lotions, the faster the bruise will disappear.
Bodyaga
This cheap remedy can be found in any pharmacy. If there are children in the house or one of the family members plays sports, then this powder should always be on hand. The powder is diluted with warm water until a paste is obtained. The mixture is applied to the site of the bruise and kept until dry. Then rinse with warm water and reapply. Most pharmaceutical products contain this component, but creams, ointments, and gels may not always be at hand.
Important! Bodyagu must be used with caution, as the product can cause allergies.
You can use pure powder or creams containing bodyaga no more than three times a day.
Onions and honey
The product must be used carefully. In order to reduce tearing, the onions are first doused with boiling water. Use in its pure form, applying the plates to the affected areas. But a greater effect is obtained if you make a paste from the onion and mix it with honey. Apply the resulting mixture to a cotton pad and cover the bruise. After 10 minutes, rinse with plenty of warm water.
Warmth against bruising
Cold is only necessary for the first couple of hours after injury. You can further combat bruises using heat. The most basic thing is vodka compresses. But vodka dries out the delicate skin around the eyes, so it’s worth using a beneficial alternative.
It is necessary to heat the rock salt in a dry frying pan, pour it into a canvas bag, and apply it to the sore spot. Let stand for at least 15 minutes or until completely cooled. The procedure can be performed 3-4 times a day. This remedy will not help get rid of a hematoma, but making the bruise lighter and speeding up the regeneration process is quite possible.
Types of ointments for adults
Bruises of the first 3 degrees can be treated with external agents. Most often, such ointments are available without a prescription. There is no general classification of ointments for bruises. It is most convenient to group them, taking as a basis the method of influence or the main active component. Based on this, existing drugs are divided into 4 groups.
Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs
Non-steroidal ointments are drugs whose prescription requires prior consultation with a doctor. They contain potent substances that cause side effects.
Non-steroidal drugs are used, strictly following the prescribed tactics. It is important to remember: their continuous use can last a maximum of 1 week.
The impact of the funds is as follows:
- removal of puffiness;
- reduction of pain;
- relieving inflammation.
Popular medications include:
- Ibuprofen;
- Diclofenac;
- Fastum;
- Ketoprofen;
- Diklak.
Absorbable
These remedies help quickly eliminate bruises and hematomas. The main distinguishing feature is the presence in the composition of substances that act directly on the sore spot. This function is best performed by medications that contain leech extract.
Cooling
These products usually contain menthol and arnica, which are effective when used immediately after injury.
They have the following effects:
- cooling;
- pain reliever;
- distracting.
Warming up
An ointment for resolving hematomas with a warming effect is applied some time after the bruise is received. The injured tissue must first be cooled using ice or a special aerosol. The drugs in this group reduce pain in the damaged area, which is achieved by activating blood flow and reducing swelling.
Well-known means of this type are:
- Nicoflex;
- Espol;
- Ethkamon;
- Apisatron;
- Viprosal.
They may contain bee venom, so applying them to the skin of the face is prohibited.
Traditional methods
Pharmaceutical drugs, no matter how effective they may be, are not always at hand, and it is extremely important to use the medicine in a timely manner when an injury occurs. In this way, you can prevent the appearance of swelling on the face.
Bruises on the face after a blow can be eliminated with folk remedies. They will be especially effective when used immediately (as soon as skin damage occurs) and in further combination with medications.

Ice
The easiest and most effective way to get rid of bruises. But ice will only work if you apply it directly to the skin under the eyes. Instead of ice, you can use any frozen or cold food/item. It is important to wrap the ice in a piece of cloth to prevent frostbite, because... the skin under the eyes is too delicate.
Heat therapy
Not only will ice help prevent the formation of a bruise on the face, but also exposure to heat. But it is prohibited to use warm compresses immediately after a bruise. They will dull the pain, but will cause the bruise to form even faster and larger.
Heat therapy is used the day after the stroke.
This treatment should be supplemented with medical ointments for hematomas. Warm compresses are used only if there is no inflammation, open wound or signs of infection.
Honey and turpentine
Turpentine is an effective remedy for bruises, but it can only be used at a time when the skin at the site of injury does not have a purple tint.
An ointment is prepared based on turpentine and honey. Take 50 ml of honey, 5 ml of turpentine and 1 tsp. Vaseline, then the ingredients are thoroughly mixed. The resulting mass is applied to the damaged area of skin using a cotton pad. The cotton pad is fixed with a bandage. You need to keep this compress all night.
Herbal decoction
To remove a bruise, you can use a decoction based on medicinal herbs. Calendula is especially effective in treating and quickly eliminating hematomas. It has a healing and regenerating effect, helps normalize blood circulation and eliminate swelling.
The decoction is prepared as follows: 1 tbsp. calendula inflorescences, 100 ml of boiling water and salt (1 tsp) are mixed and left for 20-30 minutes. A cotton pad is moistened with the resulting liquid and applied to the damaged area for 10-20 minutes. The procedure should be carried out several times a day.
Aloe
This is the best remedy for bruises, which is used in folk medicine. The aloe leaf is crushed (by any available means), the resulting pulp is mixed with Vaseline. The mass is applied to damaged skin. The procedure is carried out several times a day. If the hematoma is already well formed, this recipe will help get rid of it completely in a few days.
Other means
A variety of ointments can be used for sprains; the list of effective remedies is quite wide and includes the following items:
- based on Ketoprofen: Bystrum-gel, Fastum-gel, Valusal, Ketonal, Ketoprofen, Ketoprom, Ultrafastin gel;
- based on Diclofenac: Voltaren Emulgel, Diclovit, Diclofenacol, Diclak, Dorosan, Dicloran, Rapten;

Thus, ointments for bruises and sprains can be an excellent help in the fight against inflammation, pain and swelling. However, in case of severe injuries, including severe bruises, it is advisable to consult a traumatologist and take an x-ray. This will eliminate fractures and prevent the development of complications.
How to hide a bruise
If a hematoma appears on your body, and you have an important event that you absolutely cannot miss, try to disguise the bruise. For this:
- immediately after the injury, apply ice to the site of the injury to relieve swelling and prevent swelling;
- Apply a thin layer of corrective agent (concealer) to the bruise and lightly tap it into the surface of the skin with your fingertips;
- The choice of concealer will depend on the color of the hematoma. If the bruise is purple, the concealer should be yellow, and if the hematoma is blue, you will need a green concealer. The yellowed edges of the bruise can be covered with blue or light purple concealer;
- All that remains is to even out the skin with a makeup base, and the bruise will become completely invisible!

Mechanism of hematoma formation
A bruise that occurs on the face as a result of mechanical impact is called a hematoma. The mechanism of tumor formation is as follows: under the influence of provoking factors, blood vessels are injured and ruptured, as a result of which blood enters the subcutaneous part, accumulates, changing the color of the upper layer of the epidermis. Other pathogenic factors in the occurrence of hematomas:
- increased blood pressure (in hypertensive patients, blood vessels burst more often, causing hematomas not only on the face);
- severe emotional stress, stress (in this case, bruises appear under the eyes);
- fragility of the capillary walls (the slightest injury can provoke the appearance of a hematoma);
- the use of medications, for example, Aspirin, Paracetamol, Analgin (cause a tendency to bleeding);
- carrying out cosmetic procedures (as a short-term complication after using hyaluronic acid fillers, biorevitalization);
- vitamin deficiency (deficiency of vitamins P and C contributes to the development of bruises);
- liver dysfunction (blood clotting is impaired, bruises appear on the body);
- vasculitis (an allergic disease accompanied by destruction of blood vessels).
The difference between a hematoma and a bruise
A bruise is considered a minor injury associated with injury to the subcutaneous capillaries. The skin darkens, the patient experiences moderate pain. The bruise goes away in 3–4 days without any health consequences.
A hematoma is more dangerous because a cavity forms in the soft tissues, filled with blood from injured vessels. Such a tumor is painful, and its appearance can provoke the formation of scars from connective tissue, the addition of a secondary infection, and an abscess.
