What is hickey on thighs?

A hickey on the thigh is a bruise-like mark caused by sucking or biting of the skin. It occurs when the capillaries beneath the skin are broken, and blood rushes to the surface, causing a discoloration. Hickeys on thighs are more common in individuals who engage in sexual activities, especially when there is contact between the thighs and the partner's mouth. It may also occur during aggressive playing or when someone falls or bangs their thigh against an object. Hickeys usually last for a few days to a week, but their duration may vary depending on the severity. In some cases, they may fade away on their own without any treatment, while in some cases, they may require ice packs and topical ointment to reduce inflammation and swelling.
