A hickey, also known as a love bite, is a bruise caused by sucking or kissing the skin, resulting in broken capillaries and blood leaking into the surrounding tissue. Hickeys usually fade away within a few days, but they can be embarrassing or unwanted in some situations.
There are several ways to cover up a hickey, including using makeup, clothing, or accessories. Makeup can be used to conceal the discoloration of the hickey, while clothing or accessories can be used to hide it from view. Some people also use cold compresses or ice packs to reduce swelling and pain.
