There are quite a few options:
* Lightly brush the hickey and the area around it with a stiff-bristled toothbrush or a comb. Doing this breaks up the blood clot and gets circulation going again.
* Wait about 15 minutes. The redness and swelling will spread, but will be less obvious after about 15 minutes.
* Apply a cold compress
* Repeat if necessary. Depending on the magnitude of your hickey this method may work, or it may just spread the discoloration a bit (it can make it worse if you press too hard.)
Use a coin. This method is probably the most painful, but has proven VERY effective. First, stretch the skin flat (pulling away from the hickey on two opposite sides works well for this). Then, use the edge of a large coin to scrape the skin. Use the coin as if the red area of the skin was butter on toast that needed to be spread outward. The only difference is that you must press quite HARD (do it as hard as you can, but not so hard that you break the skin or cause bleeding). What this does is push the excess blood, which has escaped from the capillaries, out of the surface skin. There will be redness from the scraping of the coin, but that will go away much faster than the hickey. And in any case, a scrape is much less conspicuous than a hickey.
Or just cover it with clothing or makeup

Personally, I would leave them alone. I know it would make your friend feel good, and also your girlfriends, knowing that you at least had a good sexual encounter. I love to see "Hickies"..
Take today I was in a restaurant and I was the only one there at the time. It was early for the night crowd, so this lady came in with a Doctors coat on and sets in the booth next to me. She was beautiful, especially with her Lab coat on. I have always read that professional women do not like to eat alone, and we were the only two in the restaurant at the time. She went to wash her hands, and when she returned, I just simply asked would you like to join me, as I don't like to eat alone, and I understand most women do not either. She said, why not.
We had a good conversation and medicine did not enter into the subject. I did find out she was a Dermatologist, here in Birmingham for a seminar. Never know until you ask.
What was she driving? 2007 Jaguar. What was I driving a '98 Civic. But it was nice talking with a professional with no intent but to have someone to talk too. We walked out together and I got her keys to open her door, which was really automatic. i just mentioned the fact that I enjoyed our lunch together, leaned over to give her a small kiss, and she smiled and left. I will never, ever see this Doctor again. But it made my day...What i did today was very unusual for me....

Good on you at least someone loves you. Put a spoon in the freezer, when cold apply the back of the spoon to the hickies, they will be gone the next day. Works woncers on bruises as well.
