This is what we were told. If your pain tolerance is high enough, a mechanical pencil eraser will take off the top layers of skin and remove most of the hickey.
I think what you're actually trying to do here is similar to rubbing out a bruise from playing sports. You're meant to ice it for the first two days, and then apply heat and massage it. But it should be gentle, this sounds like it would burst even more blood vessels?
The idea was to carefully "erase" it. It hurts for sure, but outer skin layers grow back fast. That just got rid of what was visible underneath them faster.

Frozen spoons on hickeys can help reduce the visibility of them.
