Immediate (first 24 hours): Cold compress for 10 to 15 minutes, repeat 3 to 4 times Do not massage, rub, or apply heat Pressure with a cotton ball for 30 to 60 seconds immediately after withdrawing the needle reduces bleeding Days 2 to 3: Switch to warm compress (10 minutes, 3 to 4 times daily) Warmth promotes reabsorption of trapped blood Arnica cream or gel can be applied (some evidence for faster bruise resolution, though not definitive) Days 4 to 14: Continue warm compresses if desired Allow natural resolution, the bruise will transition through purple, blue, green, and yellow before fading Vitamin K cream may help speed resolution (limited evidence) If you bruise frequently with injections, review your technique
