Question Posted Thursday September 6 2007, 6:25 am
So I love getting hickeys, and my boyfriend loves to give them to me on my boobs. However, I've heard that they can cause blood clots which cause cancer?
Is that true? Is there any harm to getting too many hickeys?

While they may be sore or unsightly, they will cause no lasting effects. There is no reason why this would in any way cause cancer so you have nothing to worry about.
