Hi Simon

There is an operation which may be the answer to your problems in the

long-term. It is called ETS (endoscopic transthoracic sympathicotomy).

This is a procedure in which an endoscope is inserted into each armpit and

the sympathetic nerves which supply the face are cut. There is an

alternative procedure in which the nerves are clamped which is reversible

for a while.

This operation is specifically for people who blush due to social

situations, embarrassment, etc, and who may develop rosacea because of the

constant blushing. Is your flushing only due to embarrassment, social

situations, giving presentations, etc?

Some links you might find interesting are:

In the short term, you could try hypnosis if you haven't already tried it.

The operation will address the blushing aspect but won't address any redness

due to damage to vessels which can be corrected by photoderm (intense light)

treatment.

Best wishes to you

Hazel
