Getting married and worried about facial blushing
Hey everyone,
I’m getting married soon and have been stressing about something I’ve struggled with my entire life: excessive facial blushing.
Ever since I was a kid, whenever I’d get nervous, embarrassed, or become the centre of attention, my face would turn bright red. I remember hating presentations in school because I could literally feel my face heating up, and people would make comments about me looking like a tomato, which only made it worse.
Now with my wedding coming up, I’m worried it’ll happen again since all eyes will be on me during the ceremony, vows, speeches, etc.
I’ve never really looked into treatments before, but I’m desperate to find something that works. I’ve read about propranolol and other medications that might help, but I’m curious if anyone has actually had success with them specifically for blushing.
Has anyone found a medication, treatment, or technique that genuinely reduces or prevents facial blushing? I’m a guy and would prefer to avoid makeup.
I’d really appreciate hearing what has worked for others. Thanks!
