Ice may be your best friend when you have a bruise. An easy way to do this is by placing some ice cubes into a plastic bag. Then wrap the bag around a soft towel. Now place onto the bruise for amount ten minute. Yes, you can use an ice bag, if you are lucky enough to have one.

Buy some Arnica cream and place over the bruise. It will help ease the pain and help it to heal faster.

Buy some Bromelian supplements (can be found at any nutritional stores). Take 250-500 mg. of Bromelian between each meal throughout the day until your bruise heals. Bromelian supplements work by helping to digest the proteins that causes pain and swelling. This will help keep the bruise from swelling more and from becoming more painful. These supplements come in both tablet and capsule form.

Try using a combination of cold and hot cloths on the bruise, alternating between the two. First, use a hot cloth on the bruise for a few minutes. Switch to a cold cloth soaked in cold water. Keep this up for thirty minutes or so.

If you like essential oils, you could try a mixture of lavender, peppermint and almond oil. You can make this yourself by adding three drops of lavender and three drops of peppermint oil to an ounce of sweet almond oil. Use the mixture a couple times of the day. You may even want to make sure it completely soaks into the bruise by covering it with a bandage.Health Question & Answer

that happened to me except a chair fell on it.

you can't do anything about a bruise, watch the video in the source box, it should be helpful.
SOMETIMES the bruise won't go away for a LONG time(few months), if it is under the toe nail(this happened to me), but it won't hurt.
my friend got a buries under her toe once, and they toke off her toe nail because the friggin' bruise didn't go away. D:

hope i helped. =]Health Question & Answer

You probably broke a blood vessel in your toe, the purple is blood.
This is not always dangerous but should be watched carefully.
In the meantime, soak your foot in epson salts and warm water. Take a couple of Aspirin.

Next time, apply ice immediately for a couple of hours, 15 minutes on and 15 minutes off.

If no improvement has shown in two days, see your Doctor.Health Question & Answer
