9 best remedies for bruises
Bruises, or hematomas, are familiar to everyone. A bruise is a subcutaneous accumulation of blood that has released into the tissue through micro-breaks in the capillary vessels. In the tissues, the blood drained from the blood vessels coagulates, and then the multi-day “bloom” of the bruise associated with the gradual disintegration of hemoglobin begins. A bruise is usually a logical consequence of a blunt soft tissue injury, and therefore many local remedies aimed at eliminating bruises have analgesic and anti-inflammatory components that simultaneously reduce the swelling and pain that has arisen after injury.
But sometimes bruises occur on their own, and this should always be alarming. It is known that normally a person will never have bleeding gums, spontaneous rupture of blood vessels under the skin and hemorrhages, for example, in the sclera of the eyeball. The spontaneous appearance of bruises is a must-see specialist, and above all, check the liver. After all, it is in this organ that those proteins are synthesized that regulate the process of coagulation. If a person has little protein (hypoproteinemia) due to chronic liver disease, then bruises and bleeding, or hemorrhagic syndrome, will be its constant and undesirable satellite. First of all, we are talking about chronic liver failure, cirrhosis, alcoholic hepatitis and other pathologies.
But in this rating of drugs, we will proceed from the assumption of the usual appearance of bruises due to soft tissue injury. How to speed up bruising? What better means to use if the bruise appeared under the eye? After all, it is impossible to apply warming and burning ointments, you can spoil your eyesight and get a severe burn. Finally, which drugs can be used if the pain is gone, and which drugs should be used for pain and swelling? It is about these tools and will be discussed in this rating. All of them are ointments, creams or gels for topical use, freely sold without a prescription. Prices for all drugs are given for the beginning of 2024 as the average data for pharmacies of all forms of ownership in the Russian Federation.

The best remedies for bruises on the body
The review begins with drugs that do not have a pronounced analgesic and anti-inflammatory activity, but only dissolve bruises. Therefore, they are recommended to apply when there is only a cosmetic defect and, therefore, have passed at least a day since the moment of injury, and the condition is not acute. Also, these local means can be used with a different mechanism of hematoma formation, for example, with reduced blood clotting.
Troxevasin - gel
Rating: 4.9
Opens a rating of local remedies for bruising Troxevasin - gel, which is produced in the form of a 2% concentration of the active substance The drug contains a derivative of the routine - troxerutin. This tool is very popular for the treatment of chronic insufficiency of the veins of the lower extremities, and it is described in the section of drugs for the treatment of varicose veins. But besides the venotonic and venoprotective action, Troxerutin has anti-clotting and antioxidant activity. It reduces capillary fragility, and their permeability to the liquid part of the blood, and increases the tone of the smooth muscles of small vessels. In the same case, if the capillary rupture has already occurred, as it happens during the formation of a bruise, then Troxevasin improves the resorbability of the spilled blood.
Troxevasin is shown for bruises and soft tissue bruises of various localization, as well as for varicose veins and varicose dermatitis. Troxevasin-gel must be applied to the injury site twice a day, morning and evening, and rub it until completely absorbed. Troksevazin-gel is produced in tubes weighing 40 g by the Bulgarian company Balkanpharma, and the average cost is 250 rubles per pack.
Advantages and disadvantages
A big plus of Troxevazin is the ability to quickly get rid of puffiness and speed up the resorption of a bruise. Troxevasin works well in places where there is an extensive capillary mesh that is close to the skin's surface, as this facilitates absorption. If the bruises are on the thigh, on the forearm, on the skin of the abdomen, then in two or three days nothing will be left of them. If there is an extensive hematoma, then Troxevasin will certainly cope with it, but in a week. By cons of the drug can be attributed shallow absorption. Therefore, if the bruises are deep, it is best to take an ointment. Also, the drug, despite being well tolerated, may cause allergies, dermatitis or urticaria.
Bruise off
Rating: 4.8
This gel was created specifically to accelerate the lizirovanie hematomas, resorption of household hemorrhages, is actively used after surgical interventions for application to the seams. It can be used for body bruises and bruises on the face, including on the skin under the eyes. What does it consist of? Components - leech extract, as well as pentoxifylline. It is known that leech extract contains hirudin, and this substance allows the leeches to drink blood with impunity, which does not clot.
This is a natural anticoagulant, and such an effect on the coagulated blood, of which the hematoma consists, will consist in a slow but effective resorption of this blood clot. As for pentoxifylline, this drug improves capillary circulation, and the lysed hematoma will disappear more quickly. Therefore, we can consider these components matched well. This medicine must be applied four to five times a day on the desired area of skin, and rub in with soft, massaging movements, but without effort. This drug in the form of a gel is imported to Russia by the Ukrainian company Biocon, and the average cost of a tube of 30 g is 148 rubles.
Advantages and disadvantages

Plus Dolobene is the ability to use it as a contact gel and iontophoresis. Of the side effects, skin reactions such as redness are most common. Due to the content of Dimexidum, a patient with sulfide intolerance may have specific reactions, as well as a temporary change in taste. But on the whole Dolobene is very well tolerated, and if it is applied on the first day after receiving a bruise and a bruise, he is able to quickly eliminate the hematoma and remove the edema.
Lioton 1000
Rating: 4.7
Such an interesting name arose because every gram of Lioton contains 1000 units in terms of heparin, the active substance of this gel. Heparin is a natural anticoagulant, so it should be used only if there is no severe pain and swelling, but only to dissolve the bruise. If there is pain, he will not cope with it, as well as with severe edema. But the slight swelling, he easily removes. Its physiological effect reduces platelet aggregation, increases blood flow and reduces blood clotting.

Lioton should be applied to the skin, squeezing a strip from 3 to 10 cm in length, depending on the area and degree of hematoma development, and rub in with light movements, no more than 3 times a day. Launches Lioton 1000 pharmaceutical company Berlin Hemi, Germany. The most popular packing in 50 grams will cost 550 rubles.
Advantages and disadvantages
As with any good drug, Lioton 1000 has both advantages and disadvantages. It is consumed much less than heparin ointment, since it is more concentrated. It can be used by pregnant women, the range of indications is very wide. Sometimes this gel can be applied to the face for swelling, this is often used by women. But in the event that skin is damaged on the hematoma site, there are wounds, then after Lioton-1000 is applied, there is a risk of increased capillary bleeding, if the blood has not stopped. Finally, Lioton has a rather high price.

Gel with badagi 911
Rating: 4.8
Badyaga are single-celled creatures that live as a colony in extremely clean, running water. Their microscopic skeletons consist of silica, and silica is nothing but silicon oxide, which usually consists of sand. But the badyagi skeletons have too thin, microscopic needles of silicon oxide, which are called spicules. Powder is prepared from these skeletons; it is capable of mechanically irritating the skin, since, roughly speaking, millions of miniature sand needles are stuck into it. As a result, there is a flow of blood to this zone, and redness is caused.
After the blood begins to flow from the zone of application, it takes with it the remnants of hemorrhage. Badyaga has long been used in folk medicine for the treatment of bruises and bruises, it is used now.

In addition, badyaga and all products from it have a specific and not quite pleasant smell.
