put a butter knife blade flat against it. Has to be stainless steel. It pulls the bruise out. Look at knife afterward; it will be discolored

my grandma did that and it works!

Thanks for the tip Veronica...he seems to be fairly ok..(he was lucky)...

doing that will lessen or avoid a black eye.

I was smacked in the face with a wooden swing, grandma put a butter knife on it and it made the purple go away.

we stuck with ice packs and he looks fine this morning...for someone who hit his face against a wooden bed...
