Ah the hickey, that red badge of passion! So spontaneous! So exhilarating! So erotic! So now what are you going to do?

You Will Need

  • Hickey
  • Spoon
  • Freezer
  • Comb or brush
  • Quarter
  • Lipstick
  • Pencil with an eraser
  • Concealer one shade lighter than your skin tone
  • Hot, wet facecloth
  • Scarf or turtleneck
How To Get Rid Of a Hickey: Press cold spoon against hickey

Step 1: Press cold spoon against hickey

As soon as possible, pop a spoon in the freezer for a few minutes, and then press it, suction-like, against the hickey for 15 minutes. This will reduce swelling and prevent any more bruising.

How To Get Rid Of a Hickey: Massage area

Step 2: Massage area

Gently massage the area to break up the congealed blood that is causing the bruising.

How To Get Rid Of a Hickey: Use comb or brush

Step 3: Use comb or brush

Not working? Take a comb or brush and gently rub it over the hickey for about 10 minutes to help disperse the clots.

You could also use a quarter to push away the blood that has gathered in the area, but this method hurts a bit.

How To Get Rid Of a Hickey: Use lipstick cover

Step 4: Use lipstick cover

Still seeing red? Get fresh blood flowing by removing the cover of a lipstick, twisting the opening against the hickey, and pulling it off. You’ll hear a pop, and the hickey will briefly be redder before lightening.

Some people swear by pencil erasers, saying that twirling them forward and backward on a hickey makes it disappear.

How To Get Rid Of a Hickey: Use concealer

Step 5: Use concealer

Blend a little concealer, in a shade lighter than your skin tone, over any remaining redness.

How To Get Rid Of a Hickey: Apply wet facecloth

Step 6: Apply wet facecloth

If the hickey is still visible after 48 hours, apply a hot, wet facecloth for about 5 minutes. This draws new blood, helping smooth out the skin tone.

How To Get Rid Of a Hickey: Wear scarf or turtleneck

Step 7: Wear scarf or turtleneck

If all else fails, wear a scarf or turtleneck—or stay indoors.

A hickey is a bruise caused when the vacuum created by a sucking mouth breaks blood vessels below the skin.

You don't really need a cold spoon, but a good ol' number 2 pencil, and some lotion. You can use an ice cube to numb it, but the trick is to get to it soon after the experience. Use the lotion on the eraser (yes, the pencil eraser will be useless thereafter), and fan out from the front to the back of the hickey. This really does break it up. Keep going until it's super light red, or gone altogether. I've had one or 2 (or 4) of these, and this really works.
