To treat a deep bruise compress the area and apply some ice using an ice pack or ice in a bag to the bruise.
The ice can help the bruise heal and stop any swelling of the bruise.
Rest and also elevate the bruised area.
A deep tissue bruise takes between a few days to as long as a few weeks to heal depending on the severeness of the deep tissue bruise.
Most deep tissue bruises heal within a few days to a week but some may take a bit longer.
Bruises can sometimes last for months before healing.
Most bruises heal within a few weeks to a month although some more severe bruises may take as long as 2 to 3 months or so to fully heal.
Also if you're diabetic then bruises can take longer to heal as well and some may never fully go away.
A bone contusion takes on average of 4 to 8 weeks to heal as bone contusions are slow healing.
After 8 weeks the bone contusion should be either fully healed or at least mostly healed.
Bone bruises and bone contusions are usually painful and often last a week or two, but the duration of the bruise can vary greatly and can be altered by the way a person treats the injury.
An example of a contusion is if you stubbed your toe and then the toe bruised as a result of the stubbed toe.
Or if you smashed your thumb with a hammer and bruised it then that would also be an example of a contusion.
Contusions are just really bruises that result from an injury.
In medical terms a contusion is a bruise that is most often the result of an impact or direct blow such as from a fall.
Contusions is just the fancy medical term for a bruise.
A contusion can be minor or severe, and may result in heavy swelling or significant swelling.

Injuries to bones, muscles, and the tissue just under the skin can cause bruises.
The eyes and mouth, as well as internal organs such as the lungs, can also bruise.
Bruises are a type of bleeding under the skin.
Most contusions simply need time to heal.
Soft tissue contusions can take anywhere from a few days to a couple of weeks to heal.
Bone contusions may take longer usually a couple of months depending on how severe the injury is.
There is no difference between a bruise and a contusion.
Contusion is the medical term for bruise.
Initial treatment for contusion should include rest, icing the affected area for 20 minutes, and applying a compression wrap to help minimize swelling.
If there is an accompanying open wound, keep the area clean and bandaged.
Severe contusions should always be treated as soon as possible to prevent or limit permanent harm.
Even with treatment, there may be permanent damage—although prompt care can limit the severity of these effects.
Contusions can be classified as coup or contrecoup injuries.
Coup contusions occur at the location of impact, whereas contrecoup contusions occur on the opposite side or at a point distant from the impact.
Contusions may be present in any part of the brain but are most common in the frontal and temporal lobes.
