How to heal a bruise faster.

I have a bruise on my face on my cheek bone and i was wondering how to make it go away faster.

Dear Samantha,

When you get a bruise put a covered ice pack on it immediately. The bruise is caused by blood under the skin and the ice will stop the bleeding faster. Put the ice on for 10 minutes then off for 10 minutes for about one hour. Eating foods high in vitamin C will help the healing process and I have heard that vitamin K topically also helps to heal bruises faster.
