I just noticed I have this huge bruise on my arm. Which is really strange, because I dont bruise easily and it must have been a bad bang for it to bruise like this, but I dont remember it happening. Anyway, my dress is strapless and its totally going to show next weekend. I think it will lessen by then, but does anyone know of any tips on how to lessen the appearance of this thing? Is there even any way to?

Home Remedies for Bruises #4: Make a tea with confrey root or buchu soak a rag in the tea and apply to bruised area, this has been shown to reduce pain and discoloration of the skin.
Home Remedies for Bruises #5: Experts say the popular muscle soreness remedy Arnica is also your best bet for minimizing bruises and healing them fast. As soon as you bump your knee or other body part or notice a swelling or discoloration, gently rub a dollop of this homeopathic cream on it. Arnica shrinks inflammation and increases circulation to flush away the stagnant blood that turns your skin black and blue.

Ok this may seem crazy but when I would get a hicky lol (many years ago) someone told me to get a brush and rub it against the bruise and it amazingly disappeared, I know it sounds painful lol

Re: Getting rid of a bruise?
I cannot remember the name of it, but I remember reading in Self Magazine about a bruise stick... like it looks like a thick glue stick but you rub it on your skin, for babies... but that it also works for adults. Here's a link, but I'm sure you can also find it elsewhere... and maybe even other brands...
