It depends on how far the blood was pulled in to the epidermis, hickeys are allmost like a bruse its just blood puled up into the top layers of your skin.. im juseeing it will take from 1 week or 2 weeks depending on the damage..

It depends on many factors, such as how much blood was brought to the area, your age, diet, blah blah blah. If you tend to bruise easily then hey it just got worse :p
Basically it's going to be there for awhile. Your best bet is to use a coverup of some sort until it's gone. Rubbing it may help displace all that blood that is un-naturally sitting in your lipid layer (known as sub-cutaneous, not well vascularised so usually not a lot of blood there...), also the warmth provided by the rubbing tends to help in the general healing process. But there is no amount of rubbing that is going to get it gone fast enough.
Your best bet is make-up.
And tell the jerk that did it that you're not in junior high anymore and you don't like be being branded anyhow ;)

If you wet a metal spoon then put it in the freezer for about an hour, then apply it directly to your "spot". Repeat as necessary.About two hours and it will be less visible, good luck.

It depends on how long your male friend, or girl frend sucked the blood out of your neck, or where ever. I had one that lasted about two weeks.

3-5 days, you can help the process by applying a little toothpaste, and ice.
