califsue -> Help with how to after face slapping (6/11/2008 8:12:06 PM)

Master was out today and we had a wonderful time. With that said, though due to the face slapping I have bruising on the right side of my face, and on my lower lip. I have to work tomorrow and don't want my co-workers thinking/wondering/asking questions. He saw the black eye had started before he left and feels very bad about that, and I did put some ice on it. Just wondering during the night Ice/Heat compresses or ???
 
Thanks.

You can try some arnica gel, but, time is the only thing that will heal it. I don't think heat would be a good idea though. But I could be wrong.

Basically tiny blood vessels have been damaged or broken causing blood to seep or leak out into the surrounding tissue. A cold compress (ice, frozen peas or corn or simply a cold pack) while keeping you head above your heart (sitting up while sleeping might help) and keeping pressure on the bruised areas (DO NOT USE DUCT TAPE, funny as this sounds, just don't do it, or anything that keeps the compress tight gainst you; it can make it worse!)

Lastly, OTC pain meds are ok to use and may help with the clotting

But, no matter what you do, you will be bruised, period. There is no getting around that....

Christina,
 
Yes I expect time is what it will take. Thanks for the tip on the arnica gel.

Arnica rocks, but for now, go out and get Mac Studio Fix foundation from the mall or something.

or...do they still make Pancake by max factor??



lostgirl83 -> RE: Help with how to after face slapping (6/11/2008 8:43:23 PM)

Yes, they still make Pancake by max factor... I bought it at the drug store not too long ago.

OTC pain meds won't help with "clotting", and some make bruising worse.  OTC pain meds are for inflammation -- you don't have inflammation, you have internal bleeding on a tiny scale. Particularly avoid aspirin. 

Another vote for arnica, you can get both homeopathic tablets in tiny tubes, and cream or gel.  Go for both. 

You won't want to put anything on your skin that contains salicylic acid (an aspirin relative), so avoid beta-hydroxy treatments and check the labels on any acne cream or special skin treatment you might be using.  Salicylates are in many cosmetics.  Vitamin E will also intensify bruising, taken internally or externally. 

I always found it *more* odd for employees to try to cover their bruises with makeup.  You can tell they're wearing a ton of makeup, and start to wonder why they're hiding whatever they are hiding. 

Better to just have a silly story, to let them know you've got nothing to hide.  I had a slightly torn retina from a face-slapping once, and told the doc and my co-workers that, since I'd hurt my back the day before (true), my roommate was helping me get my shoes on and we got tangled, and I got an elbow in the eye.  Dumb but they bought it, even the one employee who knew I was into BDSM because we'd bumped into each other online!

Thanks for all the information. I didn't hide it and just told people that I was rough housing with someone and it happened and that satisfied the curious without being a lie. At least it was a pleasure and not like the last time I got a black eye from a dentist visit.

NO HEAT FOR INFLAMMATION. IT WILL SWELL MORE.

I wanted to get your attention. Ice is proper protocol for an acute injury . heat will wosen it.

Those damn abusive dentists! My mouth is quite small, and I had to get three teeth removed... one from the top and two from the bottom. To get the top one out, the dentist used my chin as leverage. My chin was definitely not numb, either. For the next week I sported a giant bruise on the left side of my jawline.

Silly question do you own a dog... now now there is a sensible reason for asking this question.  I like face slapping aswell so if i have a particularly rough session which are fantastic i usually use *oh the dog head butted me when he was messing about* dogs have very hard heads ;-)  most don't even question it ... i have a border collie they are nutters lol

Hee! This made me laugh. My parents have a 60 lb standard schnauzer named Oscar who is completely berserk and built like a brick shithouse. He's given my mom a black eye before whilst bouncing around and he's broken my foot using it as a "Squirrel Attack" launchpad.

OP - Good answer! I like to call those truthlettes....just enough of the truth that people don't ask further.



cagliostro -> RE: Help with how to after face slapping (10/23/2008 5:53:27 PM)

Also - don't drink.  Alcohol thins the blood.



XaviersXian -> RE: Help with how to after face slapping (10/24/2008 4:55:55 AM)

greetings to all,

OP, try putting mint toothpaste (not gel) onto the bruising.  I know it sounds completely nuts, but it used to work a treat for the hickeys I had as a teen.  Also, apply plenty of cold (frozen peas wrapped up in a tea towel).  Heat will only make the bruising worse (heat will bring blood to the area).

good luck!

well wishes,



kiwisub12 -> RE: Help with how to after face slapping (10/24/2008 2:36:55 PM)

Ice for 24 hours, then heat   -  and i can't remember if i saw this or not - when using ice, put it in a pillow case or wrap in a towel - don't want frost bite!!!  Put it on for 20 minutes then off for 30, and so on.   Also you might try sleeping in a recliner to keep your head elevated, which will help with the swelling.



BLGirl -> RE: Help with how to after face slapping (10/24/2008 10:21:46 PM)

Those damn bruises; they always ruin my fun... Daddy is so paranoid about leaving one and having everyone thinking that he is beating me that he will rarely hit my face and when he does, it is often just a tap. I don't care personally, what anyone thinks, I just want to have my fun!



PanthersMom -> RE: Help with how to after face slapping (10/25/2008 8:06:19 AM)

i like the dog excuse.  i've had occasion to sport a black eye or two or a bruise on the face.  never caused by face slapping, i'd kill anyone that did, but by getting head butted by one of the offspring.  that's another one that people accept without question.  my mom even got her nose broken by my younger brother, she was leaning down to kiss him goodnight and he decided to sit up at the same time.  at that point in my life i'd never seen that much blood!

Might be a bit late now, but next time you are going to indulge in anything that might bruise you, eat pineapples and lots of vitamin C before.

Ice and arnica is great for bruising, also sunbeds help to minimize the bruising



djaleksandr -> RE: Help with how to after face slapping (10/28/2008 7:17:18 PM)

I'll have to keep all this in mind next time I get slapped around a bit (not that it'll happen anytime soon. [>:] )
