Hi,
Since you are elderly and got injured in such a way that you lost some blood, i suggest consult a doctor and take a courise of antibiotics.
If you have not taken Tetanus toxoid injection for the past 5 yrs please take it.
Bruises usually resolve on their own. However for larger bruises you may need topical creams like thrombophob(Heparin sodium topical cream). Also take care not to apply it on the eye.
