Blushing also known as feeling flushed is a natural response of the body to certain emotional situations. It’s characterized by facial cheeks taking on a reddish tinge and warm feeling emanating from them. The psychological triggers behind blushing are not clearly understood by medical science and may vary from person to person. However, when this naturally occurring process gets exacerbated and an individual experiences excessive blushing it can prove to be socially and emotionally disruptive. A person suffering from excessive blushing might project a chronically nervous visage. To alleviate excessive blushing it’s imperative to first distinguish between normal blushing and excessive blushing. Normal blushing doesn’t cause anxiety while excessive blushing causes anxiety which is directly proportional to the blushing itself.
