Kinesio tape! Look up how to do it for bruising, but it’s awesome!

Answer

Best way to deal with bruises is to R.I.C.E.
rest it
ice it
Compress it 
And elevate it.

Answer

Ice might help reduce swelling but tbh it’s a bad bruise and cut will take a while to heal.
Maybe let it heal naturally if your self conscious of it wear a jumpsuit or something

Answer

Had a similar scenario week and a half before my wedding. Even twisted my ankle lol. Looked like I had been severely beaten. Thank god I didn’t choose a short wedding dress

Answer

Ouch. Keep the open areas covered with an antibacterial ointment and a non adhesive dressing. A wet environment is better for wound healing. It's not going to be hugely better by the weekend probably but it will be more comfortable.

Answer

Look painful! I’d try a cool cloth and aloe

Answer

I would go to the doc, i mean it's a big area!
