Question : I gave my boyfriend oral and now he has bruise/hickey on head of his penis. Is this ok and what do we do to get rid of it?

Brief Answer:
The bruises would regress on their own in a week.

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.

It is possible that when you were giving your boyfriend oral, the suction force of your mouth was enough to rupture a few small blood vessels on the head of his penis, thus giving him bruises. I would not worry about them unless there are any other problems. The bruises should take about a week to resolve but should be alright thereafter. As of now, nothing needs to be done (assuming that there are no other problems).

Brief Answer:
Nothing needs to be done.

Detailed Answer:
No, it will take its own time. The blood in the extravascular tissue needs time to get resorbed. You would need to be patient till then.
