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)

Like you, I have a wardrobe of turtlenecks and scarves to tie around my neck!!! I am so excited to try the blood pressure medicine...I am calling my Dr. NOW to make an appointment! This condition has haunted since adolesence, and has definitely affected my confidence professionally and personally.

Hi, like you when i get nervous my neck and chest gets red and blotchy, but it isn`t there all the time, just when i get nervous... I`m looking for a dress at the moment for my wedding next year and feel i should be looking for something with a high neck line, but that isn`t really what i want... Have you come up with any solutions to this? I`d be grateful of any sugestions.

You can try going to a dermatologist to try to figure out what triggers the reaction. Yes, it is embarrassment or anxiety that triggers the redness ( I have it too) but the skin doc can do tests that can help prevent it from happening.
