How To Get Rid Of A Hickey

Step 1: Know Your Hickies

To remove a hickey, the first thing you need to is to determine whether or not a hickey-like mark on your neck really is a hickey, as opposed to a rash, bruise, or other ailment.

The way to do this is pretty basic: recall whether or not anyone recently kissed, sucked on, or had other lip contact with your neck.

If so, it's safe to say you have a hickey. If not, you probably have a rash, bruise, or other ailment. So you should consult your local heath-care professional to find out what's going on.

Step 2: The removal process

Pick it up, and locate the end with the negative charge – the flat one.

Now, rub the end of the battery against the hickey. Rub it fairly firmly, or it won't work. But not too firmly, or it'll look like you got bruised in a battery fight! If you feel too much pain, there will be no gain.

Keep rubbing firmly-but-not-too-firmly for a minute or two. Then, check your hickey. If it's gone, you're done. If it's better, but not completely gone, keep rubbing until it has disappeared - and your embarrassing love-mark problem has been solved.
