What color does a hickey turn right before it goes away?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Hickey changes: A hickey is a discolored area on the skin that results when small blood vessels break under the skin, causing a type of bruise (purpura). The appearance will normally change in appearance and color over time from red/purple to yellow/green then brown.
