A hickey, the mark you get when someone sucks hard on your neck or neck area, is a bruise with broken capillaries.
You probably don't want to hear this, but... there is no "fast way" to get rid of a hickey. In fact, there is no way to get rid of one other than by being patient - it just needs some time to heal. You can, however, try a few tricks to make it fade faster:
-Apply a cold flannel to the area immediately (this only works if you do it RIGHT AFTER you get the hickey). Keep the compress on 20 minutes, off 20 minutes. The cold will constrict blood vessels and help keep the bruise from spreading.
-If the hickey lasts for more than 48 hours, apply a wet, warm washcloth to it - this can reduce swelling.
-Be creative with fashion to hide your hickey! Wear turtlenecks, scarves, or high shirt collars. Disguise the hickey for a few days until it becomes less noticeable.
-Try to be prepared in case your parents notice the hickey - because no matter how hard you try to hide that mark, they might still see it.

Get rid of the boyfriend, hickeys are gross & actually hurt your skin. They are called hematomas in the medical trade.

They have to go away by themself, but you can cover them with a good concealer and some thick makeup

I know a way to lighten it up a lot... put toothpaste on your toothbrush, and brush it over it repeatedly... I know from experience... Trust me it works...

I heard if you put ice on them right away they disappear in a shorter time.
