Blotchy Skin--Help!

Hi! I am getting married this August on a beach in Southern California. I am a little worried because whenever I get extremely nervous, my chest and neck get a little blotchy. My dress shows both areas. Does anyone have any advice as to what to do? Is there something I can take or put on my skin to prevent this from happening? Does anyone else have this same problem? Any advice would be great. Thanks! =o)

For some reason my message did not post last thursday, so we will try again...

Hi guys,

I also just happened on this website last week after yet another humiliating red/splotchy incident at law school...and, of course, my fellow law students just had to make it worse by bringing it to my attention. Anyhow, i went to my doctor tuesday and got a prescription for 5mg of inderal. I take 2.5 mg of prinivil/day for high blood pressure, and my bp is right at 120/80. The doctor was a little hesitant to prescribe inderal to me b/c it may have a synergestic effect with the prinivil and lower my bp even more. But, after my desperate pleas, she agreed to give me a very low dosage as a trial. I plan to try it within the next few days, so hopefully i won`t pass out!

Thank you all for your posts! it feels so good knowing other people go through this!
