I know they are tacky and disgusting - the man is in much trouble for giving it to me - I blame the demon alcohol for this!

We've all been there! At least when I used to get them (in the 80's) polo necks were very fashionable. I remember wearing a scarf to a mock job interview and they thought I was very smart (little did they know!). Anyway all the rubbish that the other people tell you about rubbing toothpaste on it and stuff doesn't work so just wait for it to fade. Dont' try covering it up with make up because that doesn't work and just draws attention to it.
You'll need to give it about 3 days to start clearing and a full week until it's gone. Tell him to give them somewhere that no one can see it in future (or buy him a sandwich to munch on instead!)

A hickey is just like a bruise and will fade as soon as the blood clears out. Usually it will start to fade in a few days time but depending on the severity of it they can take up to a week or more to completely fade away.

Why do men need to leave their mark is this stupid way? They are marking their territory like animals do without thinking of the consequences.
Fading takes about a week. It depends on the intensity of the sucking involved initially. A light bite fades quicker.

it depends how dark they are they fade gradually by day but it normally takes 3 or 4 days for them to clear up altogether,
Stay away from the vamps in future love bites are so trashy.
