I have really had the curling iron slip out of my hand and scorch my neck and everybody thought it was a hickie. Looks exactly like one, only when the scab would start to peel away would they believe me, that it was a BURN!

Best way to hid it is to not get it to start with.

I have seen as a joke, a group would hold someone down and put one on them and leave them to explaine to their parents how they got it.

You got that right Laura!

So, did your parents find out? I personally would laugh my bottom off if my kids got one, but be furious to all heck if they tried ot hide it from me!

Okay...........I'll admit it has been quite a while since I was a teenager...............but try using a thin layer of white toothpaste, let it dry then put some concealer and foundation over it!!! I hope that helps!!!!!

I have always had long enough hair so that always worked for me but I have to wear it up at work, so I put foundation on and it kind of helps but it is still noticeable

If it wasn't so big, you could put a bandaid on it and say it was a gross zit. I was always carefull.... the one time it did happen it was winter and I wore turtlenecks everyday!

I don't think you people are giving parents enough credit! I've had a hickey before, only once, but when I did, it was one on both sides of my neck, and it was the dead of summer!!!!!

In SC, a turtleneck doesn't do it in the summertime.

Fess up if it comes up, otherwise, ignore it and it will go away and if a boy attempts to do anything close to that again, slap him!!!!!!!!

I'm sorry if I sounded rude when I said it was big. If a guy ever tries to give me one, I'll smack him upside the head!! LOL!

Cut a potato in half and put it on it for at least 15 minutes. The starch helps it out apparently. Don't know how or why but it really does work.. my friend came home one night with BLACK hickies on the side of her neck and was freaking out cause she didn't want her dad to see, so my mom did this. Doesn't make them go away completely but makes them fade so they can easily be covered up!

Lots of concealer and stuff

Good luck!

you know what - I may be showing my 'stuffiness' but Paren'ts aren't as dumb as you make them to be. If you have something that is so blatantly obvious and you want to hide it from your parents - something tells me you shouldn't be doing it in the first place. Nor do I think this thread is appropriate b/c this is a family site. And people have been ripped apart for less..

That being said - yes I have had hickies.

I totally agree! It should have at least been put in the dog house, if at all. I would think decieving parents wouldn't be favored here. Just my 2 cents. As for the mark, live and learn, I guess.
