KPRF and Emotional Flushing, how many people here have both?
Do any of you guys constantly blush from strong emotions? I've had kp my whole life and the baseline has never been super bad, usually just some diffuse rosiness on my cheeks, and I honestly don't really mind my baseline. my texture isn't too bad either (while I don't have the world's smoothest skin ever, I only have kp on my body and the texture on my face is pretty nice). when I was little, I blushed easily, and some pictures of me show me with my cheeks bright red. however, my flushing got waaayyyyy worse over time, both in color and in heat, especially as I got into high school and gained a lot of weight. and holy shit, whenever I get embarrassed, mad, excited, or am around somebody I like, my cheeks will get insanely hot, red, and splotchy. when I start to blush, my left side is always warmer than the right, but both cheeks, from the cheekbone down to the jawline, are always insanely patchy-looking and turn this deep, bright, neon pink. there are always these blood red blotches by my cheekbones that look like a literal allergic reaction. I catch on fire like this from heat or exercise as well, but strong emotions make this reaction happen all the time. It happened the other day just from me being stressed about stomach pain. I needed to roll the window of the car down just to cool myself off from how furiously I was blushing. if I blush at school, I try to cover my cheeks with my hands and wait till the heat finally goes away. I always feel so worried about getting super red-cheeked from any emotion these days. It makes me want to hide 😭😭😭
