I don't think you can.

Do Immediately
Apply an icepack to the hickey. Do this as soon as possible after receiving the hickey. You can wrap some ice in a towel, use a pre-frozen ice pack, or put a spoon in the freezer for a few minutes. Gently hold the cold compress to the skin for several minutes (up to 20 minutes, if it doesn’t feel too uncomfortable), remove the compress for several minutes, and then apply it again.
Try the toothbrush or comb method. Many people swear by it, but it’s important to remember that a hickey is a bruise, and most bruises just take time to disappear, so don’t expect a miracle.
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, as above.
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.)
Conceal the hickey with makeup. The most effective makeup will be the green-tinted concealer, as it is designed to negate red skin tones. Apply a foundation that’s a little lighter than your skin tone. Apply it directly on the hickey and all around it so it doesn’t look obvious that you’re trying to conceal something. You can try an eyeshadow that’s lighter than your skin tone if you don’t have a concealer.
Cover the hickey with something. Wear a turtleneck, a collared shirt or blouse, or a scarf (appropriate for the weather of course), around your neck. If you have long hair, style it so that it hangs down over the hickey. Frequently check the positioning of your shirt or your hair to make sure the hickey is still covered.
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.
Put a spoon in the freezer for a few minutes. Apply pressure and slide the spoon along the hickey. The pressure and coldness help disperse the blood that has formed. You will need to repeat freezing, if the spoon starts getting warm it does not work. You will also need to use quite a bit of pressure with the spoon but you will see results over a few minutes of doing this.




Warnings
Applying too much pressure to the hickey will cause the blood to go away but can leave a lasting bruise. These bruises often have a greenish cast and are more humiliating than hickeys.
Never apply ice directly to a hickey. Wrap ice cubes in a towel to make a compress, and remove it if the cold becomes too painful. You can get frostbite if it’s too cold, or if you hold it on for too long.
If someone suggests a hickey "cure" that sounds dangerous or stupid, don't try it. Use common sense; a hickey really isn't a big deal.





Things You'll Need
Toothbrush
Eyeshadow or foundation a little lighter than your skin tone
Concealer (preferably the green kind)
Ice pack (pre-frozen ice pack or ice cubes wrapped in a towel)
Concealing clothes

Fold a wash cloth in half, then fold again so it's in quarters. Wet it, squeeze a lot of the excess water out, and put it in a bowl. Put this in the microwave for about 30-45 seconds. it's going to be hot. Let it sit for a second or two then apply directly and firmly to the hickey. Hold it there till the cloth becomes cold.
Next - take a cold can of soda (I suppose a cold spoon would work too) and roll it firmly over the area for a few minutes.
Finally - Take a pencil eraser, place it in the center of the hickey and twist it around clockwise, then counter. Not too hard, you'll make it worse.
You can literally watch the hickey fade before your eyes.
Repeat as necessary.

This really works!!! with in about a half hour it is gone

A hickey is a bruise so a cold compress will help lessen the marks.. It will take some time for it to fully go away... good luck

I was with my friend, and she had a hickey, and she took the top off of a chapstick thing, and rubbed chapstick on it. It was amazing! It faded away in a few minutes! Try it and see if it works. If I doesn't, try massaging the area.

i does not mess with it in any respect. Use cover up and makeup on it. cover it up which contain your hair or clothing. yet do no longer make it seem obvious which you're hiding something. in the event that they ask, merely say it incredibly is a flat iron or curling iron burn.

Massage that area!

get a cap of a chapstick or something and keep rolling it over that area!

This stimulates the blood flow and it'll disappear right before your eyes!

I've heard rubbing a penny on it, putting a spoon in the freezer then putting it on it or rub it with chapstick.
