How would I go about getting rid of rope burn quickly?
I had tied myself up last night and had some rope around my neck (YES, I know this is very dangerous, especially when you're trying to be Harry Houdini, but I've done a lot of practicing and seeing my limits on rope around the neck pressure. I always have scissors nearby in case anything happens, too).

I got out, put the rope away, and went to the bathroom only to discover a couple abrasions on the front near my throat and a long strip of mild but noticeable rope burn on the right side of my neck.

I went to bed and figured it would be gone when I woke up, considering I haven't had rope burn before. Nope. Looked in the mirror and it was still there.

Any way to get rid of it fast? I don't want my mom to see it.

For the rope burn I would use aloe vera, such as in the products for sunburns.

More concerned about having a rope around the neck. After working in the emergency room and as am EMT for years, it is amazing how many unintended and unplanned accidents there are surrounding this, and they all thought and truly believed that they had control of the situation with fool-proof back-up plans. Please reconsider doing this because the repercussions are permanent major injuries/disabilities to death. It is not worth it. Wish for you to stay safe.

Thanks for your help! I'll grab some when I head to the store. Spent 10 minutes covering it up as best as I could.
I am reconsidering it, at least, for the time being. I've had rope marks on my ankles (where I had the rope too tight) but this was different. It's quite difficult to cover something on your neck, even with super thick and long hair!
