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)

Hello all!
I`m also one of the many who is very grateful to have found this site. I also get blotchy at the worst times such as at work, at the gym, meeting people, talking in front of people, whatever. It definitely make my self esteem go down! I never know when I might have it either, that`s the worst part. Sometimes I`m fine, other times not. In the past to help I`ve gone to the restroom and thrown cold water on my temples and neck. If that hasn`t worked I try calming down by doing breathing exercises or just thinking I`m in a really cold spot! Either way, now that I know about Inderal I`m calling my doc next week to get some.
Thank you soooo much to everyone!

Hey,
Well I can tell you that I`m NOT getting married for I`m only 15 years old. I have the same problem as you and It is SO good to hear that I am not alone with this. Its been a problem for me for about three or four years and it so annoying. I get homecoming pictures taken and I get nervous and I am stuck with those pictures of me and my red face and blotchy chest. Not too attractive. Lol. I just want it to go away...when I`m with a guy I really like, I get blotchy and (most guys like to look at your chest..hah.) I want to be able to wear low cut shirts whenever I want and feel good about myself..but I cant. Thanks for listening to my story.....
