Toothpaste doesn't work it is a myth!

put water on a spoon and freeze it. Put a tab of white toothpaste on the bak, and put it to the love bite. It will make it go faster. It also works on ugly bruises from cuffs. I should know ;-)
good luck

Cold causes broken vessels to constrict, limiting blood from moving. Use ice and rub in a circular motion. Do not apply directly. Use a washcloth to prevent freezing. It may be uncomfortable but it works. Repeat several times.
Heat dialates blood vessels, increasing blood flow and begins the healing process.
Good luck

In theory a love bite is a bruise which is swelling and discoloration of the skin. I would try a cold compress first, then if you need to hide it get some concealer to match your skin colour and blend in to your own skin tone by gently dabbing with your finger until the love bite is concealed!

Try rubbing Garlic and Vinegar around the area, if it dosent make the love bite fade, it will certainly prevent you recieving more.

The thing when we were kids used to be toothpaste but I think this is urban legend.
Try witch hazel.
