4 Tips to Removing Hickies

One of the best methods is not to get them in the first place. Asking nicely may work or perhaps end the make out session early. There are several other ways to remove hickies as follows:

1. Anytime you have swelling, which is what happens to a bruise you have to make the swelling go down. Ice will decrease the swelling and stop more under-skin bleeding so you can apply some to the wound in a small waterproof bag or container or even in a paper towel.
2. When you get a hickey your blood vessels rupture, which causes blood to surround the wound then clot which is the bruise. Massaging the wound perhaps with a chilled spoon or your fingers can break the clots down helping diminish the bruise.
3. To remove a hicky using heat remove the ice first then apply heat to the bruise. You have used some ice now use heat on the bruise to allow fresh blood to flow freely into the wounded area. Wet a cloth with warm water until warm, squeeze almost dry then hold on bruise for 5 minutes 3 times daily.
4. This won't remove a hicky but by taking Excedrin or aspirin and acetaminophen diminishes any pain plus it prevents adhering blood platelets also called clots. Take when healing has begun not immediately upon getting one.
