Making Hickeys go away - Tilted Forum Project Discussion Community

Memalvada · 11-09-2003, 06:23 AM

Is there anything you can do to make hickeys go away faster? Or do I have to wait for it to go away on its own?

My gf gave me one yesterday, and my mom's gonna kill me when she finds out!!

Please help

note: i did a search, and i didnt find anything like this, but if there's another thread like this one, would you please direct me to it? thanx

gariig · 11-09-2003, 06:32 AM

Ice possibly, it would reduce the swelling. You can also get concealer that matches your skin color and use that.

Just curious, how long do you have until you see mommy again?

Gariig

Memalvada · 11-09-2003, 06:59 AM

I have been able to hide it from her...

dunno for how long though

Baldrick · 11-09-2003, 07:19 AM

hehe... Sorry, it just reminds me of some fun we had with a buddy the night after a big party many years ago. He had the same problem, and was desperate to get rid of it before his parents saw. We had him doing all sorts of dumb things to get rid of it! A cold spoon, cold raw fish, standing next to a microwave with his neck exposed, and many many others.

We finally showed some mercy and stopped, but not before he spent a good two hours with globs of toothpaste on his exposed neck to "draw the hickey out".

Honestly, a hickey is just a bruise, and there is pretty much no way to get rid of a bruise other than time. Really, the only thing you can do is mask it...

vveronica · 11-09-2003, 07:55 AM

only better way to hide it is hit yourself in the neck somehow to cover it... maybe a bad case of the flu and you cant see her... hehehhe nothing is going to make it less noticable

JStrider · 11-09-2003, 10:17 AM

have someone hit you with a baseball bat right where the hickey is... and then just tell her you got hit by a baseball bat :-p

but really there isnt anything you can do... get a little makeup from your girlfriend and try covering it that way...

or put a bigger darker bruise over the hickey...

thats all i can think of...

EDIT: could say you were messing around with paintball stuff at a friends and you got hit in the neck

bermuDa · 11-09-2003, 10:25 AM

concealer is the only way to hide it. I've got one but I don't care, I just say I have a bruise in a bizarre spot. maybe someone kicked you in the neck?

sailor · 11-09-2003, 03:06 PM

Yeah, you cant get rid of one. The best you can hope to do is to cover it up so it isnt so obvious.

amonkie · 11-09-2003, 03:08 PM

Turtleneck season..... That's all I have to say.

FallenAvatar · 11-09-2003, 04:08 PM

Does it really matter? I mean how old are you that you have to hide it? A girl was sucking on your neck and your mother is going to flip out? Um what the hell?

Ditto, I think my mom would give me an addaboy.

11-09-2003, 04:58 PM

Everyone is right…not much you can do.
Assuming you live with both your parents… show it to your father first..its a guy thing and chances are you will get a pat on the back. More importantly, when your mom starts to freak out, he can defuse the situation.

NOTE: Hickies on the neck are boring, the next time your girl wants to suck on something….well, do I even have to say it…

tritium · 11-09-2003, 05:59 PM

Can't say that I truly understand the hickey phenom ... I'd probably be pretty mad at her and in turn, make sure she got one too. Dunno.

The paintball excuse will suffice. Can't say how many times that's truly happened to me...

la petite moi · 11-09-2003, 07:03 PM

Yipes!!! Yeah, I gave my boyfriend four hickies the day before prom [where we would have to take photos!! =(] and so after confessing to his mum [who just laughed], he used a bunch of this product called Aquaphor. It helped bring down the swelling a bunch, but you can also just try changing between heat and ice to see which one yields any results.

skysooner · 11-09-2003, 07:35 PM

Tell your mom that hickeys are just a normal expression of the physical love that a man and a woman have for each other, blah, blah, blah.

Yeah, right. Concealer works well. A base that matches your skin tone. My wife has used it on me when she gave me hickeys that she didn't want anyone else to see.

Memalvada · 11-09-2003, 08:14 PM

Well, I've avoided my mom for the most of this day, she hasnt seen it yet, and I dont think that now that its dark she'll notice it...

I hope i have this good luck tomorrow as well...

FallenAvatar · 11-09-2003, 09:16 PM

I was going to make a comment about you guys being scared of your mothers.. but I'll just be nice and forget it.

JStrider · 11-09-2003, 09:27 PM

im not afraid of my mom... and ive never hidden the visible hickeys... not really a big deal for me... especially now since im away at school

FallenAvatar · 11-09-2003, 10:04 PM

Exactly.. wth does it matter.. Some girl sucked your neck, you feel you need to hide that? For what purpose?

Averett · 11-10-2003, 05:44 AM

My ex-boyfriend would give me hickies all the time. I think he thought it was funny.....

So I gave him 2 HUGE ones on the sides of his neck... The guys on the baseball team gave him so much shit about it.

Anyway... I'm guessing you're under 18. Which is a no-no here but you already knew that.... Either way, if you're that scared of Moms just avoid her. Wear turtlenecks. Hey, it's not like your Mom never got a hickey before.

Jedbeck · 11-10-2003, 11:09 AM

You could say that you were goofing off with your friends and one of them pinched your neck really hard and gave you a pinch hickey.

I had friends that would do that to each other constantly in high school. Sometimes you couldn't tell the difference between a real on and a pinch hickey.

motdakasha · 11-10-2003, 12:04 PM

if a hickey is really just a bruise, here's how to make bruises go away faster:
rub hard toward the heart, but not back and forth. only rub it in one direction. rubbing hard enough hurts a little sometimes.

if you're doing it right, the bruise will start turning bright red. that's the new blood coming in to replace the dead blood, the stuff that makes the bruise dark colors. once it's all reddish, it usually goes away in like one or two days. i learned this from the cifu when i was in martial arts. i know it works 'cause normally bruises will last for weeks on me, but by rubbing it, they would disappear within a few days.

Memalvada · 11-10-2003, 02:49 PM

Thanx, but she caught me

damn!

(it wasnt as bad as i thought tho...)

Nazggul · 11-10-2003, 04:33 PM

Get yourself some turtlenecks.

Sorry you got caught though.

numist · 11-11-2003, 09:26 AM

my g/f just left SD....

but at least I have memories.. (all over my neck and chest :P )

Hickeys are hard to get rid of. Next time, think ahead and redirect her attentions to somewhere that is less visible...

Pragma · 11-12-2003, 04:53 PM

My girlfriend seems to love kissing my collarbone, and one night I teased her about trying to give me a hickey with all the kissing she was doing. Lo and behold, she went ahead and gave me a hickey. Honestly, if my parents saw it (though I'm quite a distance from them), I wouldn't try to conceal it. They know I have a girlfriend, and what do they expect, that we hold hands and don't even kiss until marriage? Heh.

As for getting back at your girlfriend (which is the much more fun part) -- I recommend either the breasts or the inside of her upper thighs as places to give her a hickey. It'll drive her nuts while you give it to her, and it won't be visible, so you don't have to worry about you or her getting in trouble.

Nuts in a good way? :P

bryanzera · 11-12-2003, 07:51 PM

I've found that a little green eyeshadow under the concealer works wonders.

viejo gringo · 11-12-2003, 08:22 PM

had a hickey on my foreskin once,--damn that woman had such great muscle control---

must have been one of the reasons I married her..

Oh yes, nuts in a very good way.

tbc · 12-07-2003, 07:54 PM

Right well this is something i'm trying to do at the mo. The best ways are getting something hot, sticking it on the hicky then something cold. And we're talking scalding to frozen here no half measures.

Also mind a bit of light deception, foundation can only hide so much, showing up covered in oil and or grease has worked for me before, just say u had a bit of bike/car trouble on the way over :P

Another thing for small love bites is "cutting yourself shaving", hurts but u should have thought of that before getting bitten!

One day I will buy a polo neck, but i will be obvious to anyone that knows me that i would have been seriously marked if I had one on.

The best thing to do is not to see girls that will do that to you when you don't want another girl or whoever to see. But sometimes it can't be helped, sexy girls, lil bit rough, little nuts, want to mark their territory when it aint theres and you just gotta stop the shit hitting the fan somehow.

Worst comes to the worst fake illness or skip town!

Zorvox · 12-07-2003, 11:13 PM

Asif make a big deal over a hickie

Just front your mum and be like "yo mum!! got me self a hickie, sick ey!" heh, there really nothing man, she'd be trippin' if u rocked with ur gf's pregnancy results being positive

Yeah, parents are usually pretty cool about these sorts of things. It's not like they've never fooled around a bit. Also, if you're honest with them they'll usually quit asking questions about certain things. There are some things parents would rather not know about.

Arrion · 12-08-2003, 04:43 AM

they ususally won't chop your balls off over a hickey

Harshaw · 12-08-2003, 07:52 AM

One of my coworkers gave me this tip: Take the lid of a piece of lipstick (as in the thing that covers the lipstick) rub it into the hickey fairly hard. It will hurt like hell, but I guess it will make it go away. I've never tried this, but I have been told by two people that it works.

Sho Nuff · 12-09-2003, 08:52 AM

comb it with a black plastic comb. promotes blood flow.

Boo · 12-09-2003, 06:52 PM

Tell your SO that all hickeys must be below the belly button and above the knees.

brikellxx · 12-09-2003, 07:15 PM

just cover it up for now. boo has good advice for the future

frozenstellar · 12-10-2003, 04:02 AM

never had a hickey before, gf gives me one this morning high on my neck.

I was just gonna say this. They had something on MTV a while back about hiding hickeys and they said just what you said. They said the green cancels the red and makes concealer work much better.
