text: blushing on one's neck? my co-worker gets these red splotches on her neck, down past her collar bones. she is pretty fair-skinned. it almost looks like hives. she says she gets them whenever she is anxious, embarrassed, over-heated... so all the time. i guess it bothers her, because she seemed uncomfortable when i mentioned it (i was concerned, not rude). does anyone know if there is a name for it, or if there is anything she can do to stop the splotchey blushing? i'd like to help her. thanks! it's not a rash...i get it too in all of those conditions plus when i'm excited or drinking.  my sister also gets it.  i think it is genetic.  she had to wear a high necked wedding gown so it wouldn't show if she got nervous. some people just blush more obviously than others.  i really don't think there's anything you can do.
