Hickeys are pretty much bruises. The worse the bruise, the longer it takes to heal. Directly after getting one, put ice or a cold spoon on it to reduce swelling. I am not sure how this helps, but apparently it does. I wouldn't suggest wearing make-up over it. I think it would just draw more attention to it. Just wear your hair down around your neck so people won't see it. [ Melody's advice column | Ask Melody A Question ]

It really depends on how bad the hickey is. Hickeys can last only a few days, others can last for two weeks or little longer. If the hickey is really bad as in black coloring almost it will heal in different stages just like a bruise. If its red or lighter in color it can heal up in only a few days or so. The deeper or more force used when the hickey was given will depend on how long it will take to heal. So if you know how long it takes for a bruise to heal normally when you get hurt. It should take about the same amount of time before that hickey is gone. I hope this helps let me know what you think..
