A member asked:
Have a large 2 inch hickey on side of neck, it is very dark and big. worried about the possibility of blood clots? what should i do? aspirin? help

Not to worry: A hickey will not generate any significant blood clot. Focus your attention on your attire for the several days it will take to fade and the relationship. If it was an accident, learning is possible, if your partner was marking territory you need to set some boundaries.

Nothing: A hickey is just a bruise in the skin from pressure. It will go away with no treatment.When it starts to turn yellow you know it is going away.
