It's basically like a bruise, so you can put ice on it for a few minutes, then put something warm on it for a few minutes. Keep doing this, one after the other and it should fade really quickly. :smile:

Basically - Is there any thing you can do to get rid of them? :mad:

Nope.

You either wear it with pride or wear a scarf. Unfortunately it's not quite the scarf time of year... you should really have thought of that whilst (s)he was attached to your neck though. :p:

Ah love bites, so useful when you know the guy you're kissing has got a girlfriend (but didn't tell you of this before you're little liason).

Get some green concealer, then some normal concealer. Works for spots, it should work for love bites.

Alternatively you could wear a polo neck?

This sounds weird, but bear with me. Put a spoon in the fridge and leave it to chill. After it is as cold as it is going to get, take it out and place the curved part of the spoon against the hickie and apply some pressure. Repeat, and the love bite will start to fade.

Not quite sure if that was directed at me. But a hickie is simply a bruise and a bruise treatment is to cool and apply pressure.

Also, I absolutely despise hickies and on the odd occassion I've woken up with one I've wanted to get rid of it so I've tried a few things. Mind you, best treatment was getting a female flatmate to put some foundation on it.

i had a corker not long ago and managed to get rid of it soon after, al you need is a flannel, dip it in hot water, really hot n jus keep rubbing over he area. All a love bite is is blood underneath the surface of ur skin. by rubbing a hot flannel over for 15 minutes or so ur helping to break the blood up and so reduce the redness and appearance of it. This works a treat i find. Good luck

No, but that must be where you live; they're sold in boots and superdrug, and if you knew anything about colours you'd know that green neutralises red :rolleyes:

And next time, don't let anyone suck your neck :smile:

It's not as if how you get it justifies having an ugly bruise there. Urgh.
