Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Unfortunately Liver Cirrhosis is largely irreversible.
There is no standard therapy for it except maybe organ transplant.
So I am sorry to tel you that not much can be done about the damage done.
The only thing we can do is to be careful and avoid things in future that affect liver.
As for the bruise- the colour changes and swelling you mentioned is the normal cycle of any bruise.
However, bruise should not form easily.
Test a PT/INR if the trauma was not significant.
Do let me know the report.
