A cure or cover for hickies???

Is there any way to make a hickey go away faster? Or at least to cover one? It's too high and too warm for a turtleneck...

Help.

Prevention is the best course of action!

If I remember right, the easiest way to remove leaches is to use salt!

Now the next time, to prevent this type of result, make a paste of water, baking powder, and a healthy portion of salt and apply all the way around your neck.

Harder

Calling Doc, ya' know any better way?

ask your girlfriend for some foundation (makeup) LOL
Maybe some stuff people use to cover up zits?

If I remember right, hickies are caused by the breaking of minor blood vessels (something like a bruise) so basically just gonna have to let it heal

Its a bruise, so you have to find a way to disapate the blood from that area. I dont know how you would do that. Covering it up is probably the way to go, but it's still not gonna look pretty.

If you have to hide it from a g/f or wife you're screwed.....

I got one in high school once while I just started dating this girl. The one I got them from was from out of town so she wasnt telling anyone. I told the girl I was seeing that it was a bruise from an elbow someone gave me while pinning me during wrestling.

I dont know whether she actually believed me or whether she just wanted to believe me.

AWWWW.....How CUTE!

I remember that! The Gals around here seemed to think it was cool to lay a hickey on ya during those steamy make-out sessions...you'd look at yourself in the morning and go into shock!

I think she's intentionally "marking" you, man.

(Please notice, I resisted the urge to write, "Hey, good ol' Krylon worked fine for me!")

i think the only way is to wait it out...

OK here, ya go.. Here is the best way to cover them.

Go to the drugstore and in the cosmetic isle look for the Revlon display. Then look for cover-up sticks. These are thicker and more opaque than foundations. Get the GREEN colored one.
Green will blend over the red to help it cover better, and it will blend into your skin color too.

And next time wild man, don't make her so craZY!

be a girl and take makeup

or be a man and wear a toasty turtle neck, or an fashionable scarf

Just use a vacuum cleaner on reverse and blow the bruise away. hehehehehehehehe
Or use the vacuum to give yourself a few more and claim ignorance or stupidity. Or rampant popularity like I had to once upon a time.............................................. .................
