blotchy skin on neck and face

When I am in speaking in front of people, or talking about personal experiences I get very blotchy and "blush" quickly, even if I want to be there and feel confident that I'm saying the right things, the extra adrenaline shows up with red blotches, sometimes purple. It's REALLY embarrassing.

Does anyone else have this, and is there anything I can do about it?

Yep this happens to me. all the time when I get nervous. I go to the doctors office and Im splotchy go to a parent teacher conference and you betcha splotchy...It totally is annoying and frustrating and I wish I knew a sure fire way to make it stop but I dont other than to learn to be less nervous....yeah right huh.

well your not alone......I wear my anxiety on my neck all the time. If you ever hear a way to make it stop let me know!

i mentioned this to somone who told me to ask my doctor about beta-blocking drugs to stlp the fight or flight response, just to use for public speaking and job interviews. I'm going to ask a doctor and find out if this is an option.
