First off, I'm not 16. Secondly, I have an important business meeting tomorrow and I don't do turtle necks. I guess I should just button the top collar of my shirt, but what else can I do?

Not much else you can do besides use concealer. :lol

Rub the area hickeyed with a lemon half, or something slightly acidic. Then afterwards, rub with a towel for a couple minutes and apply skin conditioner. It should disappear somewhere from a half hour to and hour.
Seriously though, I have no idea. You could always use a bandaid to cover it or something. Wouldn't it be crazy if that actually worked though?

My room mate gave my girlfriend a hickey on the cheek. We tried the fine tooth comb and cold fork methods. Neither worked. You just gotta live with it for a couple days.

Haha, yes she did. It was non-sexual and quite hilarious.

Well, it starts with my cheeks...I have really stretchy/squishy/elastic cheeks. I'm really thin, and my cheeks aren't fat, they're just really squishy. Sometimes my room mate (female) will give me a kiss on the cheek before she goes to bed or before she leaves. Looking at my girlfriend's cheeks, she thought they would be as squishy as mine. She wanted to see if it would feel like marshmallows if she sucked on them. Turns out my girlfriend's cheeks aren't as squishy as mine, so my room mate got pissed and just sucked really hard, thus giving my girlfriend a hickey that's still there today.

My penis is squishy sometimes and could feel like marshmallows. Lemme come over.
It's probably too late to do much to hide it now. You can try a cold compress, on for half an hour, off for half an hour, repeat. Or try Visine or anything that gets rid of red eyes (works for zits). Lastly, a bandage larger than the area of the hickey (unless it's insanely large) is your best bet. Everyone will know what it's from, but it won't be as distracting as a big red hickey on your neck.

I'm guessing that he is referencing "Moulin Rouge!"? Sounds like a quote that would work in the context of the movie although I dont have any of them memorized or anything of that nature.. it's a great flick though, so if that is indeed the case -- dont even be almost ashamed.
What the hell? I've never been kissed and I can tell you that makeup (YES MAKEUP) is the answer. Find one your shade and put it on. And if you can't find one exactly your shade, find one that's close enough and cover the hickey and a decent size part of the area and claim you slept on it the wrong way and that's why it's discolored.
Now go knock'em dead.

Have you covered a hickey with concealer? i've seen zits covered with makeup (not sure if it was concealer or not) that were blatantly obvious. It might pass in soft or low light, but it's pretty obvious in standard direct incandescent or bright flourescent light.DJ Brannon said:
Cover it with a bandage. Fallout from coworkers finding out you used makeup to cover a hickey is potentially much worse than if covered with a bandage.
