If it's not too late, apply ice. Apply gentle pressure around bruise each day. Vinegar and warm water together will increase blood flow. The last resort is to apply make-up to the bruise so it isn't noticeable.

There really isn't much you can do but wait till the bruise heals itself. Applying a cold compress or ice pack will reduce swelling. Apply melted chocolate directly to the bruise and wrap it in gauze overnight. Clean it off the next morning. these are home remedies but its worth a try'
