Blotchy Skin--Help!

Hi everyone! Wow I can`t believe I just found this web site after thinking I was the only one with this HUGE problem (well it is to me). I have experienced this `flushing` since I was about 15 and I have never met anyone with the same issues and no one ever seems to understand the extent that it impacts on daily life, worring over what to wear to work, a night out or even avoiding people because I have a top on that shows skin!!! (Neck and chest area).

Nervousness, change of temp, excitement, sadness or even direct sun light tends to bring it on. I am not sure why but it also seems more likely to occur later in the day. I want so badly to wear thoes pretty low tops and wear them with confidence.

I am 26 now and got married 2 years ago, there was no way I was going to let this condition ruin my day with the dress choice. My husband thought I would wear some high neck dress but was shocked when I took the risk and wore a lovely strapless number. Like others on this site, I pleaded with my Dr. To pull something none other than a miracle to beable to fulfill my dream, he prescribed paroxetine 20mg 1 daily. On my wedding day the blotchy red marks only appeared slightly when I was getting ready, by the time I was walking down the isle the was no trace of blotchiness, It really was happiest day of my life!

It is reassuring though, my dear husband say`s he barely even notices it anyway!
Thankyou to all on this site, I don`t feel like a freak. I think I should start back on the tablets as I still get the rashs without medication.
BYE!
