Hickies (shame on you)
Samantha in Jonesboro Ar, USA -
My mother got mad at me when I came home with a hicky. She would tell me that I could have very bad health problems if I did that. So I would catch her asleep take a spoon(any size will work) put it in the freezer let it get very cold. Then put it on your hicky. I promise! it will work. I never got caught again.

Vics Vapor Rub
anonymous in MASS -
As soon as possible apply the Vics on a fresh bruise or before the bruise even shows a few times a day putting slight pressure. I use it on my 2 year old who is always falling and it never fails...works great

Arnica
Diane in Canada -I bruise easily and have found that if I can immediately put a dollop of Arnica gel on the site, there will be no bruising but if I don't use the Arnica, the bruise appears and will last a couple of weeks. Needless to say, I always carry Arnica with me.

Banana Peel! Its that easy!
A.Eileen in Texas, USA -Cut a banana peel to the size you are going to need in order for it to completely cover the bruise. Place it over the bruise with the inside of the peel on the bruise. Cover it with a band-aid and the bruise should be gone in the morning.

Rub it out
KM in NH -Bruises are caused by blood pooling in a spot near the surface of your skin.
If you can stand the pain, rubbing the bruise will disburse the blood, and lessen the discoloration.
You don't need any special creams or oils to rub into it, but using something slippery may make rubbing it less painful. Any old Lotion or oil should work for that purpose. It doesn't have any medical benefit, but it would likely make the rubbing easier.
That is why all the other supposed cures work. It doesn't really matter what you rub into it, it's the Rubbing that matters. Disburse the pool of blood, and the discoloration will go away.

For Hickies :]
aanah in Long Island, New York -No matter how bad the hickie is, just applying lemon juice and combing it out, possily (i know this sounds wierd) using a tooth brush to rub it in, should make it go away. When I say comb it out, I mean to just use a comb to gently brush where the hickey is, not to hard though. This will help, but it may not take it completly away. It's what I always do, I haven't found anything that works better.

Rubbing Alcohol
Anonymous in Anytown, AT 55555 -My grandmother was a nurse and she would always apply rubbing alcohol on the bruise. It has to be done shortly after, but it will make the bruise either not appear or barely visible. I have no idea why this works for me. It works for my kids too.

Bruises
Kelley in Pennsylvania -Witch Hazel is Great for bruises. Just keep a bottle in your fridge and put it on a bruise. It works best when you get to the bruise when it happens. But you still can use it if a bruise is not fresh. When you use the Witch Hazel it will take the color out of the bruise or may not even bruise
