How to Hide a Hickey on a Guy

Learn to hide your hickey to avoid teasing.

A hickey is when someone puts their mouth on you and sucks vigorously, bursting blood vessels underneath the skin and leaving a distinctive bruise.



While receiving a hickey does feel nice, you will set yourself up for all kinds of ridicule and possible trouble if it is visible. Unlike other kinds of bruises, hickeys take days to go away. If it's on your neck or other exposed area, you are going to need to take proactive steps in order to avoid merciless mocking by your friends and family.

Instructions

1. Wear clothing that hides the hickey. If it's on your neck, wear turtlenecks or bandannas. If it's winter, you can get away with wearing a scarf -- although you will bring questioning looks when you refuse to take it off inside.

2. Borrow concealer from a female friend, acquaintance or relative. Indeed, if a woman gave you a hickey in the first place, asking her is a good start.

3. Apply the concealer liberally on the hickey, being sure to blend it in with your skin.

4. Wear a bandage over the hickey and tell people you cut yourself. If it's on your neck or face, you can tell them you cut yourself shaving.

5. Eat healthy food and take vitamins to encourage your body to heal faster.

Tips & Warnings

• Try not to let your squeeze give you a hickey on your neck. There are a number of other equally -- if not more -- sensitive, fun areas on your body that are covered by clothing on a day-to-day basis.
