A member asked:
Can a hickey cause a blood clot which then lead to a stroke ?!
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: A hickey is a shallow bruising, blood cells leaking from tiny capillary beds that will dissolve over time. It is not a clot. Such clots occur in a moderate or big blood vessel to trigger a stroke.
