How do you get rid of/minimize/reduce the appearance of a hickey? Thanxin advance.

Here is what I found.. I never get hickeys so I don't know for sure...

HICKEY: Coat area liberally with lotion. Rub with the back of a cold spoon vigorously for as long as you can stand to, changing out spoon for new cold one every 10 minutes. Recommended time for this treatment is 45-60 minutes.

how about using an ice cube instead of a cold spoon?

I have heard that before Sherasi but I don't know if it works.
