Blotchy Skin

I was reading the messages about red, blotchy skin, and the exact same thing happens to me too! If I get nervous, or in the sun, or just about anything my skin gets blotchy. Recently I had to do a presentation in front of my class, so I wore a turtleneck to prevent people from seeing my neck, and so my cheeks turned bright red instead. Also I was talking to a guy and I was nervous and so I could feel my cheeks flaming. I reall hate how it does that, and I would just like it if someone knew of any lotions or anything that would help stop this blotchy annoyance! Thanx!

Posted this suggestion once before, but it was dismissed too easily. Check out whether you might have "Rosacea" -- a very common skin ailment that escapes many doctors, even some dermatologists!

Check with your doctor. You may have social anxiety disorder. I`ve read a lot about it and think i have i have it as well. My mom and me call it blotchy red neck syndrome. Whenever we are put on the spot for anything, we turn red. Neck, face, chest. They have medication for social anxiety disorder if thats what it is. I`m gonna check with my doctor as soon as i get one.
