My brother came home last night with a few large hickeys (don’t ask, I didn’t eaither shudders) Anywho, I was wondering how the dopers get rid of their hickeys.
A hickey is essentially a bruise. There is nothing to do but wait for it to heal. If your brother doesn’t look like a complete dork wearing concealer, he can try that.
Patting foundation on it lightly, not rubbing it in, will hide it to some extent. But mostly you just have to wait for it to fade.
This is just a guess- I haven’t had much opportunity to have this problem lately :(. Anyway, what about some of that undereye concealer? That stuff is made to minimize darkness under eyes, why wouldn’t it work on darkness elsewhere?
This thread is better suited for In My Humble Opinion. I’ll move it for you.

Have him wear a scarf. Not only does it cover the bruise, but it’s also stylish!
Nice to see some things haven’t changed in high school – 35 years ago!
Turtlenecks.
I am told, though I haven’t tried it yet, that putting very cold spoons on said hickey will minimize it.
Otherwise, two weeks of turtlenecks, I guess.
I always preferred the hide in plain site method, especially for guys. Scrape up the surface with sandpaper, like road rash. Tell the curious you caught a faceful of gravel from a motorcycle spinning out.
Tell him he should try Dermablend (they even have stuff for men!).
Why do want to do such a thing? Hickeys are lovely 
Turtlenecks. It’s still cold most places, so he won’t look like a complete dork (though he will if anyone sees his hickeys). God I hate hickeys.
