    Redness or blushing usually stems from being nervous or embarrassed. It sounds like you might have a nervous or social anxiety disorder. Ask yourself if the redness is more common when you are speaking with someone that you DON'T know well, then it is when you are speaking with someone that you DO know well and are more comfortable with. You probably experience the redness when speaking to people that you are close to as well sometimes, but if it is more common or worse around people you don't know well, then I'm probably correct. If that is the case, then the best thing that I can suggest is contacting your doctor and explaining your situation. He/she will most likely have you come in for an examination/evaluation and can suggest medicines that could help you. Good luck.

    • Useful, but medication should not be the primary approach to treatment, try finding some social remedies.

    • Don't ever take medicine
      for mental disorders.
      These might only be necessary
      in very heavy mental disorders,
      like when You have no contact
      with the patient anymore.

    • I have the same exact problem like no joke. I was looking up why i turn red all the time. Im tired of my teacher asking me why im red bc i have no answer for it. but yes i do admit tht when i see my crush i do turn red. but i cant help it. but hes not with me all the time so y do i randomly turn red. I dont think i have a skin condition. and it gets pointed out to me all the time. i dont want a guy to not lik me bc i turn red. and when someone says i am red i feel my cheeks giving off heat and i can feel it. but im never hot and it was a freezing day!

    • The only thing You can really do about it is to accept it.
      When You do, it will no longer bother You emotionally
      and it's quite possible it'll stop happening after You
      no longer feel affected by it.

      Many guys may even think it's sweet, that You're blushing
      when in contact with them.

      Of course You might also work on gaining more confidence
      and feeling less social guilt for Your thoughts.
