Using a Pen?

There is a popular home remedy regarding the use of a pen or any cylindrical object to scrape or massage a hickey from the center going outward. The proponents of this method argue that by massaging the hickey in an outward manner would spread the clotted blood that is pooled under the skin and therefore “break” the hickey. And that once the hickey is broken, this would then be the catalyst if the healing process. However, there is no evidence that this method could “break-up” a bruise, or speed up the healing process. There is in fact a chance that by doing so would make the hickey worse. It isn’t logical to push apart a bruise on your knee, the same logic applies to hickeys as well.
