I found a mark on my boyfriends neck, is it a hickey?

Question

I noticed a mark on my boyfriends neck and asked him what it was. He acted like he didn't know what it was and then said to me "Im white, I get blotchy marks sometimes." Then he said "see if its a hickey it will get darker tomorrow." He also said "why would i be shirtless if i had gotten a hickey and way trying to hide it from you?" The next day he showed me and it went completely away. When i did bring it up with him again, he got upset saying that if he did something with someone else, he wouldn't be with me. I know that he was at work that day, but he also works with a girl who is a little friendly. She told him a story one day about how she was going to give a guy head but then found out he had herpes. They also share memes once in a while on instagram. I dont know if im overeacting about their friendship and i dont want to do that.
Attached are different photos of the mark:

Meh not really, I get razor burn that marks my skin like that. I remember going to a doctor with a skin defect to ask what it was and he outright told me he had no clue and that skin can be damaged in thousands of different ways.

It's just irritated skin, stop haggling him about it. When you shave, your skin can get really irritated. Probably missed that spot with his aftershave lotion or something.

i realized that he shaved the day after i found the mark, he didn't shave prior :/ He shaved about 3/4 days prior to me finding the photo. Im not sure if that makes a difference

Could be a bruise too actually. Maybe he got hit by something.

That looks like a finger nail scratch from an itch or like he was shaving the lower part of his neck beard and dragged the razor too hard (razor burn).

Not even close as a hickey. Probably a scratch or something hit there.

If it disappeared after a day it's nothing a hickey can last a week before it goes away or even more
