How do I quickly get rid of bruises on my nose/face

[dkm]

I was sparring about 2 hours ago and we went for 30 minutes. The shots that I took to the face have left me with visible bruises. These are not cuts. I already put ice on them, so it did not swell up. But the markings look like whip hittings. Any advice on getting rid of them quickly b/c I have to attend a social function this weekend.

Try makeup.

If I rememebr correctly, you are supposed to cool for the first 12 hours, then switch to warming pad.

BTW aren't you proud to have bruises? I always liked showing them off.

I doubt you'd be interested in this but it works:

fastest way is to use leeches to suck out the coagulated blood

makeup is the easy alternative

[Sean Dempsey]

yeah, makeup. My dad used to make me put on make up to cover up the bruises before I went to school.

"I feel down the stairs" he'd tell me to say..

Whenever I get black eyes I parade them like a trophy. Chicks dig em.

Besides, it's a great conversation starter.

Chicks dig em.

When I was in school all the guys I gave black eyes were made fun of the next day.

Heres a great way to solve your problem in the long term.

i have only had two black eyes. And at school it made people nervous that I got them at practice rather than in a fight. One was very bad and led to nerve damage.

rubbing a bruise will help it go away also using some compounds that draw blood to the affected area will help.

Make up can work too.

Well,,,, I don't know if you'll like this or not but I'll give you the advice my wife gave me.

I came home one night with a broken nose and my wife told me, "You should really learn to block". Yeah, as if I didn't think about that one already. I didn't think she was very funny.

hmm, when I sit on the bus with a black eye, people tend to NOT sit besides me.. that could be connected with my size and general looks.. but I'm nice and kind as the day is long.. (which isn't very long, since we have 1 hour of light up here.. :P ) ha ha.

try wearing a brown paper bag for a few days, this has proven successful over the years

THE ONLY WAY I KNOW-
Take 4 (or5) `100% natural shark cartilage tablets`, then 3 the next day and.. 2 the next

If you take too many you`ll become insomniac!(<-This part is a joke!)

BTW- Opposed to learning to block, just learn to weave!

[jubaji]

DO NOT listen to people telling you to wear makeup! Sounds like you have enough problems already. Suck it up and wait.

...young people these days...

I haven't posted on the forum in over 2 years, but I thought I'd take a quick look at what's been going on.

The only good way to get the swelling down is, unfortunately, ice/cold compounds and time. Don't ice them for more than 20 minutes straight. After 20 minutes, let it sit for about 15 minutes then recompress.

Don't listen to some of the morons on this thread - if your not getting hit, your likely not learning and improving.

Later...
