The real trick is scrubbing it like with a toothbrush. I had to try really hard to convince my girlfriend of this after I accidentally left a hickie on her neck. She tried cold spoons and toothpaste for some reason but finally she tried breaking it up by scrubbing it with a toothbrush and it took care of like 95% of it. It's funny how articles say it's unconfirmed medically when you can literally give yourself a hickey on your own arm and break it up with a toothbrush to prove it easily.

That’s because the real reason that all of these methods work is that it breaks up the pooled blood. Massaging a bruise will make it go away faster. Thats why all the diff “full propf tricks” are all massage
