Conditions
Blushing
Although many of these conditions could leave you red in the face – blushing is brief, milder, and often seen as a reflection of embarrassment, guilt or nervousness. Other causes include spicy foods, high fever, exercise, certain drugs and the menopause, where women experience the infamous hot flushes. Blushing happens when tiny muscles in the blood vessels relax allowing more blood to pass through, whilst flushing makes the person markedly red on the face and other areas of the skin. The latter can be brought on by lots of reasons similar to blushing, but allergic reactions and dehydration can contribute to this. Rosacea, on the other hand, is a condition that looks like a flush or a blush, and can progress from persistent to intermittent redness with pimples without blackheads and red lines where the blood vessels of the face become prominent. Aggravated by certain foods and environments, rosacea responds to treatment but is incurable.

heeey! i have the exact same problem! ive only started gettin it since january last year! but it has ruined my social life so much! i find it hard to talk to anyone! because ino ill go bright bright bright red! so now i never speak at school, because it embarresses me so much! i hope they find a cure sooner or later though! x
My condition has got worse as I've got older. I'm now 32 & have been to the doctors. They gave me a couple of different creams that didn't work & also tried anti-biotics but that's not helped either. I've tried green cover-up makeup which helps a bit but wears off as the day goes on
i have this too it makes me eeel uncomfotable and i hate it how do i get rid of it xx
my face mainly my cheeks are always bright red, some days are better than others. i live in Scotland and when it is sunny most Scots are like yaay sun and i'm just like oh god because it makes my face even more red. Also i am normally cold which i don't mind but my face is ALWAYS hot, it's uncomfortable ! do you think i have that condition called rosacea, i am only 15 and it is normally in adults but i think i may have it. i don't have like the spots and things it talks about just the redness but i may just be in the early stages. thanks, natalie x :)
heyy, ive had the same problem as you for like 2 years, since i was about 14 so you're not the only one to get it young. my face is constantly red and it always gets worse when i'm outside in the weather. i recently walked past this skin convention thing in my local shopping centre, and asked for help and they said it was rosacea. All you can really do is use foundation with high coverage and try to accept it.. hopefully we'll both grow out of it! hope this helped a bit :)
Hi, dont worry, ur not alone, I have it too, im 22, and just by chance, i met some fit girl in a club who seemed to have it too, so without talking about it, we both had something in common and turns out we got on really well! if you dont ever get rid of it, (i still havent) im sure u will find ways of dealing with it (like clinique red relief cream) and dont let it get u down too much!

i have had this problem since age 15, it has slowly talen over my life and talen my personality with it. i too am or was confident but now am just a shell of my former self. if there was a treatment to tale all blood vessels out of my face i would go for it. there should be some sort of treatment out there or at least research on some sort of cosmetic procedure to hide this affliction as i think panicking that others will see it creates incredible fear which then in turn males it happen, though you cant seem to help not fearing it. please someone come up with a solution its talen all happiness out of my life.
I have a similar problem of going red literally all the time, an embarrassing comment, somebody even asking me what my name is for example can turn me into a blundering tomato. Not only do I go the brightest red my brain also seems to shut down. Sometimes people even think I am poorly because of the unnaturally colour to my face. This has affected my career and my social life. Any help or advice would be great.
i have redness/blushing of my face when i smile or laugh. The blood in my face comes extremely to the surface, and is very embrassing. I hate it :(
Im 22 and i have suffered with a constant redness of the face since i was aout 5/6. This got gradually worse as i got older and suffered flare ups if i was embaressed pot on the spot or if i was in sunsine for too long. I have resorted to make up since i was 13 and even though it helps to tone down the redness it it doesnt last for long and end up re-applying it half way through the day. green corrective creams have not helped. i was prescribed a gel to (when i was 14) use but it only took about 10% of the redness away so i was still left with a bright red face. It has left me bullied at school and i always get remarks from people about how i look. I am not overly bothered by it now as i am older but its one of these things where i wake up every morning and have to apply loads of make up to cover it up some days are worse than others so it takes me longer. On average about 5 mins to apply foundation every day. It gets me down when i look at people and think why cant i be like them and have the nice even toned complexion???
ive had a redish face for years ive used make up for the last 20 years but now ive swapped it for those facial tanning sprays you can get and find it helps there is an operation you can have but its dangerous and things can go wrong id advise against it hope my comments helps good luck
My complexion is always ruddy red and blothy around the cheeks. I also suffer from blushing usually caused by heat,exercise and alchol consumption. Please help is there a cure to have clear skin again? What can I do?
