i'm dead, my girl and i got a bit intimate tonight and i didn't notice till i went for a shower before bed. she's givin me a hicky if my mum sees it in the morning she'll kill me, it's too high up to cover does anyone know any tricks to get rid of them?

Cover-up? like make-up? I know it may not be ideal, but I heard that works.

i don't own any make up at all

can you cover it with a bandaid and just claim its a minor injury or something?

no dice i live with them and they know i didnt get hurt

Temporary tattoo.

Mosquito bite, bandaid.

Practicing being Lindy for Halloween. Aviator scarf.

Too high for a turtleneck? What's the weather like?

Make it bigger and less hicky-like. If you start scratching that whole area vigorously, as if it were an itchy mosquito or flea bite, the hicky will start to look like...a bite that itched so much that you scratched the heck out of it.

I'm sure they don't watch you and keep tabs on you 24/7. Say you had a zit and you scratched it till it bled, and cover it with a bandaid. If you really want to cover it up there are plenty of excuses that they shouldn't bat an eye at.

I agree with the previous reply about vigorously scratching and itching the heck out of it until it's big and looks VERY unlike a hickey.

Even if you don't have makeup, there's a chance your girl might if you ask her.

Scratch it until it doesnt look like a hickey.
ask your girlfriend if she has cover up.
ice will help it go away but its not a definite thing that itll be gone by the morning.

It would've been a good idea to rub it with a cold spoon after it started to pop up (quickly after).

Here's a how to of a few different methods:

where is the hickey? can it be covered by clothing?

It's ok guys mum didn'tflip  out like I thought she would but I have been warned not to get another one

Just make sure that the next one goes someplace that mom ain't looking at.

Being trans puts a lot of stuff in perspective I suppose.

Hickeys are rough to cover up.  I wouldn't do anything to make it worse like scratching it, and would go with hiding it whether it's a scarf, turtleneck, bandaide or consealer.  That's nice that you're getting some action, though, hickeys are not a bad problem to have.
