I heard preperation H might work or a frozed spoon placed on the hickey.
But other than make-up and a tutleneck or scarf its gonna be visible.

Step One
Apply a cold compress immediately (although that may interrupt a moment of passion). Keep the compress on 20 minutes, off 20 minutes. The cold will constrict blood vessels and help keep the bruise from spreading.
Step Two
If the hickey lasts for more than 48 hours, apply wet, warm compresses to decrease any pain or swelling. Once the blood has stopped spreading around the bruise, apply heat, which dilates blood vessels and thus speeds up the sweeping away of blood cells. In most cases, moist heat is more effective than dry heat, because the moisture helps wick the heat beneath the skin.
Step Three
Apply concealer in a shade that's lighter than your natural skin color and discreet enough to fend off unwanted attention.

There really isn't much you can do for it now besides letting it go away on its own. It may be a little late, but you could always try a bit of ice on it.

There is no way to make it go away that quickly. You'll just have to cover it up.

Unless you know someone who practices leeching, you are stuck with covering it up somehow
