My dad actually told me this one when I was 14!! Take a hair brush and rub it over the hickey back and forth for about three minutes or until the mark has gone. It totally disappears and does not come back as it helps with the blood vessels. This remedy has come very handy for the last 15 years especially after i got married :)

Use a warm washcloth and hold it there for a few minutes until you can no longer feel the warmth. Then use the ridged side of a coin and massage the blood vessels until the redness is gone or significantly reduced. If it's still bad put on neosporin. Used this before my wedding day and it was gone :)

2 steps to fast Hickey removal / healing.

(1) Place a warm damp facecloth over the hickey for about 15 seconds. Do this 3 or 4 times, heating up the facecloth with new water whenever it cools.

(2) Massage the hickey in several directions, softly. Use a toothbrush to stimulate blood vessels, and your fingers (lightly) as well.

Repeat these steps as many times as you can without irritating the skin.

My first, and almost only go-to, remedy for hickeys is dmso gel. It works as an anti-inflammatory and works within a day. I buy mine online but I believe you can also buy it at a bait n tackle shop or walgreens. Just rub it onto the hickey (or bruise) and let it sit. If it begins to itch wash it off with water. Only apply it once a day, simply because it will irritate the skin, especially if you have sensitive skin.

To remove a hickey just hold ice on it until it is gone. You may need to try this a couple time Also if the cold is too much hold the ice on for a little bit then take it off & repeat until gone.

Try this workaround: Get a temporary tattoo over the hickie. You can get them on any dollar store, it will look so sexy you may want to get a permanent :-)
