Hi Bailey w06

The cream which helps to heal bruises that you can get over the counter is Arnicare. If you have found this doesn't work have a chat with your Pharmacist who may be able to recommend something else.

Arnica is great for all bruising either from chemist or healthshops you can get ARNICA in tablet form as well

Doublebase gel is recommended for moisturising the skin and keeping it flexible. Arnica treats the bruises as long as you can manage to apply it as soon as possible. Keep a tube in your handbag!

Sorry. I should have added that. When skin is very thin and dry it's all too easy to break it with quite a small bump.
