Black eyes

feathers, 4 September, 2009 at 18:09 Posted on Off Topic Posts 0 3

Does anyone know any good ways of clearing up a black eye and a big gouge on cheeks please? (Beer injury...) At the minute it doesn't look too pretty but wondered whether things like Arnica would work to clear it up quicker? Is there anything else that might work? How long does arnica usually take to work? (That could be a piece of string question I guess)

Thanks in advance

    Sounds painful. I would try Arnica for the bruising, it is great

    Thanks Ice Queen, I will pick some arnica up tomorrow. Hopefully it will clear things up quicker.

    Arnica gel works faster than the cream, but is more expensive. Key is to put it on at least 3 times a day, 4 if you can manage it. You can also take the arnica tablets if you are only doing it for a short while (one to two weeks). I find facial bruising takes longer to clear than bruising to other parts of the body. My latest black eye (I do adventure sports and bruise really easily - not a great combination...) took 3 weeks to clear.
