Ointment from bruises: which is better to choose?

Ointment from bruises should have the property of dissolving and utilizing the blood that has accumulated in the subcutaneous tissue as a result of a bruise. A bruise is more correctly called a hematoma, which is an edema or swelling with blood clots under the skin. Hemorrhage is formed as a result of a bruise, and depending on its strength, the hematoma can be limited by the walls of the cavity or spread further along the nearby tissues. Also, the hematoma can develop due to a bursting vessel, which, due to pathological changes, loses the elasticity of its walls. The bruise can localize in the skin (in the upper layers of the epidermis), in the middle and lower layers of the skin, under the periosteum, and also in the muscles. Blood from bursting capillaries and vessels does not remain in the liquid state for a long time, almost immediately it starts to curl up.

The tissues become inflamed, around them a connective shell is formed. If the bruise is weak, the bruise is more correctly called bruising, if the bruise is medium or strong, then the injury is called a hematoma. The most serious are the bruises of the head, as well as the hematoma in this part of the body. Before you learn what a bruise ointment is, you should know the following information: 

• A typical bruise is formed as a result of damage to the capillaries or small vessels; 
• The severity and extent of the hematoma depends on the condition of the skin, the circulatory system and those medications that the person takes; 
• Individual small bruises with time pass independently; 
• hematomas, which appear independently, without bruises are associated with internal diseases and require comprehensive diagnosis.

This information is needed in order to correctly and accurately pick up the ointment from bruises. The remedy for bruises and bruises should have the property of activating microcirculation, speeding up lymphatic drainage, resolving bruising, removing inflammation and reducing pain. There are many such funds today, the pharmaceutical industry produces a huge assortment of ointments, gels and solutions that have all of the listed properties. In addition, it is desirable that the bruise ointment contains vitamins C and K.

Vitamin C or ascorbic acid helps synthesize collagen, and hence connective fibroblasts, which restore the intercellular tissue caused by injury. Also, vitamin C accelerates the regeneration of all layers of the epidermis.

Vitamin K or menadione is called a vitamin of coagulation, as it normalizes the process of blood clotting. Penetrating into the lower layers of the epidermis, vitamin K activates the cleavage and excretion of blood clots.

Ointment from bruises based on heparin

One of the best is ointment from bruises or a gel based on heparin. Heparin is glycosaminoglycan, which has an anticoagulant property. Penetrating through the skin into its deep layers and into the blood vessels, it slows the process of folding and blood clotting, that is, tries to maintain the blood flow in a normal liquid state. Ointment from bruises, containing heparin, promotes prompt resorption of hematomas and elimination of swelling. The classical heparin ointment also contains benzocaine, which has a slight anesthetic effect, nicotine, which dilates capillaries and vessels for more active excretion of blood clots. In addition, thanks to nicotine, the useful components of the ointment are more quickly absorbed, absorbed and delivered by the bloodstream to the site of injury. Ointment from bruises based on heparin can not be applied to injured skin, which has abrasions, open wounds. Also, do not use ointment from bruises based on heparin, if a person takes anticoagulants in connection with the underlying disease (aspecard, cardioaspirin). When applying the heparin ointment, a burning sensation or heat may appear, this is a typical symptom of the action of nicotinic acid, which begins to dilate the vessels. The course of treatment with heparin ointment or gel depends on the location and magnitude of the bruise, but should not exceed three weeks. If after this period the hematoma does not go away, you should seek help from a doctor to find out the true reasons for the delay of blood under the skin layer. 

Bruising ointment from bruises

Ointment from bruises can also contain badyag. Badyaga is a coelenterate sponge that grows in freshwater environment, in lakes and rivers, mostly on a stony bottom. Depending on what algae the badych feeds on, its color changes from brown to yellow. Extraction of active components of badyage contributes to the improvement of blood supply in the upper layers of the skin, anesthetic properties, and also facilitates rapid resorption of bruises and extensive hematomas. When the therapeutic substances of badyagi penetrate into the subcutaneous tissue, the release of histamine and prostaglandin, kinin, is activated. This promotes resorption of the seals under the skin, healing, regeneration. Surprising properties of restoring damaged areas are demonstrated by the buckyard herself. An experiment was conducted: the bastard was grinded through a fine sieve and after a while its smallest particles began to unite into groups, and then into separate small sponges. This self-healing ability in badyage provides a high content of phosphoric acid, carbonate salts and organic protein substances. Attention should be paid to the allergenicity of the products containing banyam. Therefore, before applying them to the damaged area, it is worthwhile to test the ointment from bruises on the undamaged part of the body. Light tingling and burning is a normal sign of the beginning of the action of the ointment, however, the badyag should not be applied to mucous membranes and skin that has wounds, scratches. 

Ointment from bruises can contain and routine. Routine is vitamin P, which increases vascular permeability and enhances the action of ascorbic acid. Routine is also a flavonoid - a biologically active, oxygen-containing, anti-sclerotic substance that, on the one hand, increases the elasticity and conductivity of the vascular wall, on the other hand strengthens it. One of the most popular and effective is the ointment from bruises Troxevasin and Troxerutin. Rutinosoderzhaschie means significantly reduce swelling and pain. This is a good angioprotective agent, which can be used for a month. 

Remove the inflammation may be an ointment from bruises that contains indomethacin - a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory substance based on acetic acid. Ointments containing indomethacin, relieve puffiness, pain and redness (erythema), improve blood microcirculation.

Ointment from bruises can be changed depending on the dynamics of resorption of the hematoma. It is important to remember that after two to three weeks the bruise should decrease, if this does not happen, it is necessary to visit the doctor to clarify the cause and purpose of a more effective treatment.
