A Penny for Your Hickey

Source: https://coins.thefuntimesguide.com

Another popular remedy to remove a hickey would be to use a coin to assist in massaging. A small coin like a penny would suffice. Just hold the penny between your fingers and then gently press it on the surface of the hickey. This will help clear the clotted blood that formed around the area. You are basically just using the coin as a medium to evenly apply pressure over the affected area. Just make sure to clean that penny before use, any coin for that matter, since you don’t know where that coin has been. And take note that the massage should be gently done, since if you apply too much pressure you may actually cause additional damage to your skin. The penny massage may be repeated as many times as necessary, just make sure that you do not damage your skin.

Take note that this particular hack has been around for a while, however Dr. Sejal Shah, M.D., a New York City-based dermatologist, has mentioned that this method does not work and will not do anything to help you get rid of your hickey. There is no evidence that massaging with a coin to “break up” the blood cloth would speed up the healing process. According to Dr. Shah, this may in fact further traumatize the area and may worsen your existing hickey.

If you want to try this remedy out, just take note that you have been warned!
