The formal name is love bite.
Love-bites or hickeys are a temporary mark or bruise on one's skin resulting from kissing or sucking or biting forcefully enough to burst blood vessels beneath the skin. They could also be called "love-marks","passion marks" or "slag tags". Love-bites or hickeys are generally considered more passionate when biting is involved. Hickeys on the shaft or base of the penis are known as "dickeys."
They can sometimes be 'lip' shaped. People who do not bruise easily can find them quite painful due to the amount of pressure applied to get the desired result.
Love bites last, depending on the person, from 4-5 days. Violinists and violists can easily receive a similar-looking mark on their neck from the pressure of the chin rest while practicing and are often mistaken for having a love bite.

It may not be a biological term, but there is tomething a little more 'adult' about the english name for this primarily adolescent feature.
A red/purple mark made on the neck by the damage caused to the superficial capillaries by the suction on the skin.

Sir Hickey. [ kidding ]
A hickey is simply a bruise, so it would be ecchymosis, or contusion. [ ecchymosis sounds like it costs more. ]
