If you do it in the same spot over and over again, yes. It's just like getting a bruise.
General & Family Physician,  Dr. Jitender Chauhan's  Response
Hello, welcome to Healthcaremagic. No it can not lead to cancer. The cause of cancer is different from that of hickies. So you should not worry about that. Wish you good health.
