Steps

Method 1 of 3: Use home remedies

1. 

   Place an ice cube on your hickey. Applying an ice pack to your hickey as soon as possible can help constrict the blood vessels and reduce swelling. This can help fade the hickey.
   • Wrap ice in a clean cloth to minimize the risk of cold burns. You can also place a cold spoon on the hickey, but be sure not to rub it against your skin.
   • You can use a bag of frozen vegetables, such as beans, or freeze a cup of polystyrene foam water to use if an ice pack is not available.
   • Apply ice to the hickey up to every 20 minutes. Make sure to use the compresses for 1-2 hours apart. Apply ice several times a day for 1-2 days.

2. 

   
   
   Place heat on your hickey. Use a warm compress if the hickey is swollen after 2 days. Heat therapy can dilate the blood vessels and increase blood circulation, which in turn promotes recovery.
   • Use a heating pad or cloth soaked in warm water.
   • Apply heat for up to 20 minutes at a time, several times a day. Make sure your skin has time to return to its normal temperature after one application to avoid burning.

3. 

   
   
   Apply some aloe vera to your hickey. Aloe vera is a natural moisturizer that stimulates the healing process of a hickey. Try applying a thick layer of aloe vera to your hickey. Leave for 10 minutes and then wipe clean with a paper towel. Do this 2 times daily until the hickey has healed.

4. 

   Place a banana peel on your hickey. While there is no evidence that this works, some argue that applying the inside of a banana peel to the hickey can help cool it down, thereby reducing the size of the hickey. Peel a banana, then place the inside of the peel on your hickey. Apply for up to 30 minutes, then use a damp paper towel or cloth to wipe off excess bananas. advertisement

Method 2 of 3: Accelerate the healing process

1. 

   
   
   Eat foods rich in vitamin C and vitamin K. Deficiencies in vitamin C and vitamin K can cause you to bruise more easily. Eat more foods that contain vitamin C and vitamin K or talk to your doctor about taking supplements.
   • Some foods rich in vitamin K include kale, spinach (spinach), broccoli, liver and eggs.
   • Good food sources of vitamin C include strawberries, blueberries, red raspberries, sweet potatoes, and red peppers.
   • It is usually easier and better if you increase your intake of certain foods instead of supplements. However, you can ask your doctor about taking supplements. Or you can talk to your parents about vitamin pills. If you don't want to explain why, you can say, "In health class, I learned about the importance of vitamins and I think it would be good for me to take vitamins now."

2. 

   Stop smoking. If you smoke cigarettes or use tobacco products, you should stop this habit when you have a hickey. Smoking lowers blood flow and slows healing.
   • Talk to your doctor if you want to quit smoking. There are many medications and cessation programs available to make it easier for you to quit.
   • If you are underage, smoking is not a good idea. The body is still growing and smoking can interfere with this process. Talk to a parent, trusted family member or counselor at your school if you started smoking. Explain to them that you want help with quitting smoking and becoming healthier. While it can be a little tricky, the benefits from quitting are well worth the effort.

3. 

   Avoid massage and drainage. Although it is irresistible to massage the hickey, avoid it. Massage around the hickey only aggravates the problem because it can bruise the skin and make the hickey more noticeable. Besides that, Absolutely not drain the blood in the hickey with a needle as this will cause additional damage and may cause severe pain.

4. 

   Leave the skin around the hickey to rest. Although some treatments help speed up recovery and fade hickeys, hickeys will take a while to heal. If “giving and receiving” the hickey is part of your sexual intercourse, you can ask the person to place the hickey in more discreet or harmless locations.
   • A hickey - a bruise or a hematoma - is an injury. You should leave the affected area alone as you would any other type of bruise.

Method 3 of 3: Cover the hickey

1. 

   Wear collars or collars. This will help cover the hickey for a few days. Choose turtlenecks that completely cover the neck or try building collars on collars.
   • A turtleneck is often a better choice because a collar with a collar cannot completely cover the hickey.
   • Remember that people may be suspicious if you wear a hood for days in a row. So, try wearing a hoodie for 1-2 days and then move on to another.

2. 

   Cover hickey with jewelry. This is a lovely way to conceal your hickey, while also adding an accent to the outfit. A scarf, bandana, or even thin jewelry, like a necklace, can temporarily conceal the hickey.
   • Just like when hiding your hickey with your outfit, people might be suspicious if you chose to hide your hickey with jewelry for days. You should try to give variety of jewelry to be used and then switch to another after 1-2 days.

3. 

   Use your hair to conceal the hickey. If your hair is long, you can cover the neck. This isn't a great solution to hiding your hickey all day, but it can be done if you need to cover it temporarily. For example, this can help keep your hickey from being seen by your parents. If they enter the room unexpectedly, you can quickly drop your hair to cover the hickey.

4. 

   Use a green concealer to conceal the hickey. Initially, the hickey is usually red. A green concealer will contrast with that color, making the hickey look like fading.
   • Apply concealer to your hickey. Don't be afraid to apply too much. To hide the hickey, apply as much as possible.
   • Use a normal skin tone concealer. Use a makeup brush to apply a layer of green concealer to your skin.
   • Gently use a makeup sponge to dab the concealer around the hickey, until the cream color gradually blends into the natural skin tone. Apply until concealer cannot be seen in the mirror.

5. 

   Use a pink concealer to cover up when the hickey changes color. Hickeys usually turn yellow or bluish as they heal. At this point, you should switch to using a pink-toned concealer to better conceal your hickey. Apply a pink concealer similar to when applying blue. Apply the concealer same way you would apply the green concealer. advertisement

Advice

Warning

• There are products and ingredients that claim to remove hiccups or bruises, but you should be wary of using them. Remember that hickeys (and bruises) fade as your body reabsorbs the blood and you cannot speed up the process. Taking supplements or using unproven home remedies does not help to get rid of the hickey quickly and can have other health consequences.
