How do I get rid of a hickey?

Question

I know the spoon thing doesnt work so if anybody knows anything else about them holla at me cuz I need answers ASAP

Answer 1

A hickey is really just a bruise. I don't know of anything that will make it go away other than time.

Answer 2

Time is the only thing I know of. Sorry

From my perspective don't let people give you hickeys. I believe it makes a person (women or men) look trashy.

I also think that is the other persons way of marking their "property". I guess I have a big hang up on hickeys because I was told by an old boyfriend that was his way of letting everyone know that I belonged to him.

I dumped his sorry butt! I don't belong to anyone. I may belong with someone but I am not their property. I tried to tell him that and I also tried to tell him he should trust me to tell people I have a boyfriend. I even mentioned to him that when I have hickeys it makes me look trashy and more guys hit on me thinking I was easy. My other problem with the hickey was I used to be a teenager when I got them and I always worried that my Dad would see them.

I had a huge one on the front of my neck. Summer time so turtle necks was not an option. Ice, toothpaste, cover up just didn't do the trick. Cover up helped a little but it was a very dark hickey.
I played sick for about a week and stayed in bed until it was gone. I was so scared my Dad was going to see it.

Hopefully your hickey will go away soon. Maybe because I had a bad boyfriend but I really don't like hickeys. sorry

Your loved one been sucking on your neck? Left unsightly bruise like marks? How do you remove hickies?
Who remembers getting hickies when they were young and desperately trying to hide hickies from their parents, I do and it is one of the most embarrassing things I have ever tried to hide or remove, especially with remarks such as "Gee that was a rather large mosquito that bit you!"
Love bites, love marks, large mosquito bites, hickies what ever you would like to call them hickies are a part of the dating ritual and you are bound to get one once in your life time no matter how old you are.
Hickies are usually caused by some one sucking on your skin for a long time or extremely hard, which in turn creates a little bruise or mark usually caused by the blood clotting.
Usually between two loved ones are these hickies created, sometimes they can be pleasurable for some people however afterwards there is no pleasure at all especially if you have a huge job interview the next day!

Well there is no way at all to actually remove hickies they just go away after time sometimes it can take days or weeks, however there just like a bruise, but there are ways to speed this process up and hide the hickies until they disappear.

A good way to hide hickies of course is by wearing make up, by using a good oil based concealer and foundation over top you can visible hide the hickie.
However using a yellow eye shadow over the top of the hickie then applying foundation can work as well.
So guys go raid your mothers, sisters make up box, however ask first and tell them why as it could look rather suspicious.

Another method to remove hickies is to lightly brush the hickie with a toothbrush to loosen up the clots under the skin, then cool it down with ice and repeat again if necessary.
However some say this is rumored to not remove the hickie, however experiment with all the different ways to remove hickies and see which one is best for you.

Hirudoid cream is a good hickie remover or fixer, as it is a proven cream used when you have bruises, usually given to you if the nurse or doctor at a hospital collapses your vein trying to get a needle in and a hickie is a bruise so why not try it next time your at your local pharmacist or drug store.

Also Icyhot is a good cream to put on to help remove them as well, or anything with menthol some say, toothpaste on the tooth brush is a good idea as well.

Another method to remove a hickie is to get a warm or however hot you can handle face cloth and massage the hickie for twenty minutes reheating the cloth as you go along. This helps to stimulate the blood cells and clots to loosen up and remove them selves from the surface of your skin.

But one very good way to remove hickies is to not get hickies at all or to get hickies in places where they cannot be seen! Other wise you could be wearing turtle necks and scarves in uncomfortable weather and people will definitely wonder why!
However please do not give hickies on genital areas as it could cause serious pain and discomfort.
So stick to non genital areas and places where they can't be seen and you should be fine and happy to carry on the hickie giving, I hope those ideas are enough to help you out should you need instant hickie hiding or ideas to remove them.

Answer 4

A hickey is a bruise, broken blood vessels that leak into the surrounding tissue and turn blue. You can't 'get rid of' it. It has to heal. The best you can do is to cover it up until it finishes healing. If you can't show your hickey maybe you shouldn'/t be getting one.

Answer 5

The best thing to do is keep it covered and away for sunlight for 4 to 7 days. At the end of 4 days check and re-cover as necessary.

Answer 6

Never actually tried it, but I have been told by many that rubbing toothpaste on them work, if in a real hurry though, buy some cover all makeup (foundation) and touch it up as a temporary measure

Answer 7

Put ice on it, use a cold spoon. In the meantime while its going away wear turtle necks and wear make up and concealer over it. Its not cute to have hickies so avoid it. Don't allow someone to suck on your neck.

Answer 8

Stop messing around with trash that will give you them, people like that could bring STD's. Hickeys are bruises so maybe you could ice it, but the skin tissue is so bruised that it probably won't help.

Answer 9

I foyu have a sister or a mom usally they'll keep cover-up or skin powder, Just put that on lightly and it will go away in afew days:)

Answer 10

take the cap of a lipstick tube and press it down on the hickie and twist..hard! The harder you twist the more the blood is pulled back from the surface.
