Ice is Nice
Turtle necks and scarves are
frequently worn to hide hickeys.  This
is pretty much a cop-out solution.  
Unless you typically wear this
clothing, everyone will know what’s
going on.  It would be better to go
overboard and wear something really
ridiculous.  Guys, think ascots …
A hickey is nothing more than a bruise brought
about by an overly zealous kisser.  Like all bruises,
hickeys can not be eradicated immediately, but can be reduced and eliminated more quickly by following a
few simple steps.  Apply ice or a cold compress immediately after receiving a hickey, then apply moist heat
24-48 hours later.  Gentle rubbing and massaging will soften the color of the hickey and make it less
noticeable.  Witch hazel, aloe and vitamin K will also speed the healing process.  Good luck in your hostility
against hickeys.

A cold compress should be immediately applied to the
hickey area.  An ice pack will constrict the broken capillaries
and help slow the disbursal of blood.  Timing is crucial
because the ice should be placed on the hickey very soon
after the offensive sucking has occurred.  This act calls for
tact and discretion because your girl and/or boyfriend may
not take kindly to you saying “Oh-oh, feels like a hickey
coming on.  We better stop making out and put some ice
on it.”

Massage that Hickey
The next step to remedying a potentially embarrassing hickey is to gently
massage the area.  Massage means to rub, not pinch.  Pinching will only make
things worse so you may want to use the back of a spoon, battery or some
other curved object.  The idea here is to break up the blood clots and disburse
them more evenly making your hickey a bit larger but less obvious because the
coloring will not be quite as intense.
Witch hazel is one of those products, like aloe and
baking soda, which seem to cure almost everything.  In
the case of hickeys, witch hazel allegedly disperses the
blood and encourages bruise healing.  While you’re at it,
you might as well rub in some aloe.  Can’t hurt!
Also known as love bites and sucker marks, hickeys are nothing more than a
good old-fashioned bruise.  They are caused when an overly passionate kissing
partner sucks so hard that capilallaries break and blood oozes out just below
the skin.  This causes the reddish-blue bruise mark.  You can not eliminate the
blood once the deed is done, but you can quicken the healing process.

Hickeys – good or bad?  This question has plagued young lovers for ages.  Hickeys
are often considered to be good things because, well you know, it means you got
some!  Conversely, hickeys can also be thought of as bad things because, well you
know, you’ve got a stinking bruise on your neck for a week.  Most people like getting
hickeys but want to get rid of them as soon as possible.  While you can’t eliminate
hickeys immediately, there are proven techniques to diminish them quickly.
You Can Get Rid of Hickeys
Apply moist heat after 24-48 hours.  By this time your broken vessels will have
healed and you will want to bring fresh blood flowing to your hickey to clear out
the old, clotted blood.  Heat will attract blood to the area and the moistness will
wick it to your skin.
