I am going to tell you my story, but I am pretty sure that it will not be very different from most of what you people out there have gone through. I am a 27 year old woman from Australia, but I am currently living in the US of A. I have struggled to control my facial blushing since my early teen and as a result I avoided things especially in my teens that I regret now. I remember parties i missed out on and uncomfortable situations, but I am not here to tell you about all the problems that facial blushing has caused me. The reason why I tell you about my pain is to help everyone out there understand that the quicker you accept that you have a problem and see you doctor to try to find a reason for the problem the better chances you have of recovery. I had a medical condition known as Hyperhidrosis and it affected my palms badly. What this condition means is that I have an oversensitive sympathetic nervous system, and along with severly sweaty palms I suffered from pretty bad facial blushing.
Facial blushing may in some cases be the result of a physiological condition and that is why it is important to see your doctor. Some doctors may have the preconcieved idea that all facial blushing is due to psychological factors, but if you feel your doctor is not taking your problem seriously, simply see another doctor :)
