A hickey forms when small blood vessels, or capillaries, break under the skin due to suction or vigorous kissing. This causes blood to leak into the surrounding tissues, resulting in a bruise-like mark. The color can vary from red to purple, gradually fading over time as the body heals. Hickeys are often seen as a mark of affection but can also be considered a sign of intimacy.
