I read that if you dip a cotton ball in white vinegar and swipe it over the bruise, it'll help the look fade.

You cannot apply something topically to speed up healing of a bruise. Bruising is a result of ruptured capillaries and/or other blood vessels into the surrounding tissue. The blood and lymphatic fluid will eventually reabsorb; how fast it does so is different for every person based on their own inherent clotting factors (certain medications, diseases, and lifestyle factors can affect coagulation) and the nature of the injury itself (a very small surface abrasion with minimal capillary rupture vs a deep injury with larger vascular rupture and accumulation). If you're prone to bruising there are things you can do to improve coagulation (get a CBC and PT/INR to check hemoglobin, hematocrit, and coagulation, increase consumption of both iron and vitamin K, etc). But topical remedies are not going to speed up the reabsorption of blood and lymph tissue below the skin. If it feels soothing, though, go for it. An ice pack applied immediately after injury, however, can help the injured blood vessels to slow their leaking of fluid, thereby potentially reducing the size of the bruise.

^^ I thought glucose and [cumaden] (can never remember how to spell that) had something to do with it too. [I guess that goes along side with lifestyle]. I agree with what you said I'm just asking cuz my teacher who is also a nurse said that that's why I asked.

Coumadin is a blood thinning drug given for heart arrhythmias to prevent stroke. Patients on these types of medicine will certainly bruise easier. But it's extremely rare to see young women on this medication unless they've have a heart valve replaced.
