Getting rid of hickies!

There’s really not much that will help, other than a turtleneck. But I do suggest wearing one, if you don’t have to wear a uniform. Or even if you do, wear a turtleneck under your regular shirt if that’s your only option.

A couple of years ago my boyfriend decided to give me a hickie, even though he knew that I loathed them and would have kicked his ass had I known he was actually trying to give me one. Anyway, I was at work the next day and my boss made the effort to point it out, just because it was so obvious. It was humiliating.

You might try these solutions.

and stop dating middle schoolers

Don’t get them in the first place!

My God, do people really get/give hickies anymore??!! That’s very old school.

There’s nothing to make them go away except time. The blood has to go away from that spot in its own good time. Give them up.

yeah, i gave him hell about it when I saw it the next day D:<

Uh…you HAD to know what was going on.

@jb: Not true. In the heat of the moment you can’t always tell. I didn’t know until I looked in the mirror that I had one. Plus, some people get them a lot easier than other people.

Sit down with your beau, and calmly explain that you are neither a piece of meat nor a fire hydrant for him to mark with his spoor. Then find a large band-aid, and tell your family that you burned yourself on a curling iron. The latter seemed to work for my sisters.

There isnt much you can do to cover up a hickie besides slathering it with make-up. I only get bite marks but I don’t bother hidding them :)
