The best way to treat bruising is to vary from person to person, with different treatment plans developed for different causes. Those caused by trauma can be treated with intensive local care, given to stop the bleeding, suture the wound and actively treat complications such as muscle contusions and fractures. Disease-induced conditions need to be managed and symptoms reduced. Platelets, glucocorticoids, immunosuppressants, chemotherapy drugs, etc. can be used as appropriate.
