hi everybody. im really glad i found this forum, i did not realize so many people had the same problem as me. I do not have sp, but I do get uncontrolable blotchyness on my chest, neck, face and arms. I have always been a very social person but since have have develloped this problem things have been harder.
I hope to learn new things here and maybe get cinfidence and help others with their problems. Smile

Hi guys, thanks for the welcome. Linds I would like to hear more about your redness to compare it to my own. The weird thing is i get blotchy when I worry about it, I can be having the greatest day and start thinking about turning red and then it happens. Of course it happens when I cry or get embarresd, but I am not a nervous person the only thing that holds me back is worrying if I will turn red. For the longest time I was convincing myself and other people that I had bad allergy attacks but I knew deep down it was more than that. My redness has effected the amout of clubs and activities I do and I never wear low cut shirts anymore. It would be nice if wewe could share our experiences with each other and get a few tips.

P.S how old are most of the people on this forum?

With my blushing it usually starts with my face, i'll feel myself getting red then i'll worry and worry about what people are thinking and if i'm going blotchy. This makes matters worse cuz then it happens no matter what i do. I dont even have to be around people i could be talking on the phone and i'll get blotchy to be honest its happening now cuz i'm worrying about the people reading this thinking i'm a freak lol.
I try not to wear low cut shirts if i know i'm going to be in a stressful situation, but there's always times where it sneaks up on u. I have long hair so i usually wear it down so i can hide it if it happens (little trick i found that works lol)
I'm 19 and most of the people i've met on here are in or around their 20s but i haven't talked to a whole lot.

I was going to a doctor as well, my FB is getting a little bit better but i still wish it wasnt holding me back from things that I would do if i didnt have the fear of getting all red. Its the worst at school because when ever the teachers ask me something i get all shy and blushy, even though I am cvonfident I have the correct awnser .
