no never be afraid of what you look like. try spending a few hours in the sun and that will reduce your paleness and seem to make your feckles "dissappear". besides some guys like freckles ;)

Blushing is a unique blend of evolutionary and social behavior. It's an involuntary reaction of the sympathetic nervous system, which is responsible for our "fight or flight" response, but blushing is solely triggered by social cues. \nPeople generally blush when they're feeling embarrassed, scared, or stressed. As a result of the "fight or flight" response, the capillaries that carry blood to the skin widen, and the increased blood flow lends the face, as well as sometimes the chest, neck, or even the body or legs, a reddened color. \n\nExcessive facial blushing, or erythrophobia, is caused by overactivity of the sympathetic nervous system. The condition can cause a lot of psychological duress and has engendered several support groups. \n\nIt's common knowledge that animals don't blush. So while there are some evolutionary cues behind blushing, it's also linked to something uniquely human -- moral consciousness\n\n(author of "Peace From Nervous Suffering") says, "a blush is caused by the nerves controlling the blood vessels in our face and neck becoming so startled by emotion - fear, anger, shame - that they suddenly release their grip and blood floods into the vessels." Trying NOT to blush makes it that much worse!

As you get older your hormones change and it sounds like this might be a hormonal problem.  It also will keep getting worse if you stress over people seeing you blush and sweat.  i suggest you let it play out until after your period is over and see if it changes.  IF this contiunes for another week or so I would consider seeing a doctor especially becasue of the sweating.

It usually goes away on its own but you should put ice on it, a cold spoon. Use makeup or concealer to cover in the meanwhile.

I wish I knew what embarrasses you, and how bad your reaction is.\n\nI have rosacea, so a blush easily. It was tough on me when I was a kid because people always thought I was more embarrassed than I really was, which of course made me more self concious, and therefore more embaressed. I know how it feels. But I don't know if what you experience might be worse than I what I went through. \n\nKnow that if most people empathize with you, most people feel your pain and want you to feel better. A few jerks say mean things. They are the minority. Ignore them the best you can.\n\nIf you feel totally anxious all the time, and it makes it hard for you to concentrate, then talk to some adult that you trust. It could be your teacher, aunt, parent, or someone at church or in your sports or other activity.

Ah, plasmaisnoturs, you're an inquiring mind. Good for you! We blush because when we feel nervous or embarrassed, our brains send messages to all our body parts and a chemical reaction, our blood rushes to our faces.\n\nHere are some links that go into more detail:\n\nhttp://serendip.brynmawr.edu/biology/b10...\nhttp://www.healthypages.net/news.asp?new...\nhttp://www.nhsdirect.nhs.uk/articles/art...\n\nRoses are red, faces are too,\nWe'll figure this out, all thanks to you!\n\nOnly humans can blush, by the way!

You could try to emulate Worf :)\n\nReally, though, true laughter is healthy and socially acceptable/attractive generally!  If you laugh nervously, you could try working on your confidence.  If you laugh inappropriately, you might try thinking about something else... or overanalyzing the situation, the intents of the speakers, or something distracting like that!\n\nJust a thought -  Good luck!

Don't ever mention about your embarrassing moment, and everyone will gradually forget about it. No one is perfect, and no one should expect you to be perfect :)

oh gal! u could use some home-made pastes. for example mix little cream, turmeric powder and saffron. apply it and leave for some time. then wash with warm water. then immediatly rub an ice cube over u'r face lightly. the next day take little honey an put in some lime juice, a little tomato too. lightly scrub it over u'r face. wash it over. u could do this alternately. it would improve the texture of u'r face and even remove u'r whiteheads. don't use makeup instead scrub a beetroot piece lightly to give that blush on ya cheeks. hope u don't get sad anymore.
