Why Does My Neck Get Red Splotches? Especially Happens When I 'm Nervous But Can Happen At Any Time. This Is Quite Embarrassing And When People See It They Ask "What's Wrong With Your Neck?" That Makes It Worse! Thanks People !

Turning red or getting red ‘splotches’ or the appearance of a red rash on your face, neck and/or chest is extremely common, particularly for people who are shy or nervous and become easily embarrassed, anxious or nervous. It is also common for the redness to worsen when attention is drawn to it which can in turn draw more attention to it, making the situation even worse. This is also a common problem for teenagers who feel that self image is extremely important. With age, people become more confident and less concerned by others opinions so ‘blushing’ usually becomes less common. It is not a serious problem unless it affects the self esteem of the person who experiences it, in which case there may be some ways to take action.

If you are naturally a nervous person, there is no way to change your personality but it is possible to train your body to react differently in certain situations. You can take control of your blushing reflexes with NLP, or neuro linguistic programming. Undergoing a number of treatment sessions is believed to help train your brain and your body to react differently to situations that normally trigger excessive and unwanted blushing. Other alternative treatments such as acupuncture and massage can bring about relaxation and manage excessive blushing.

In extreme cases, medication could be an option as a last resort. Drugs such as beta blockers and selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors, or SSRIs, block the factors which contribute towards excess blushing and are extremely helpful in handling situations such as public speaking, preventing the humiliation and depression connected with excessive blushing.

One option is to put yourself in the kind of position that would usually make you blush. By placing yourself in this position you will feel as though you have more control as it was your decision to be in that situation. It will feel uncomfortable but you will gradually become more and more confident and comfortable, therefore the blushing will slowly begin to subside.

Oh my god that happens to me all the time. I'm on my middle school volleyball team and one time during a game I got a little nervous. Then everyone on my team was like "Oh my gosh! What's up with your arms and neck. There's red splotches all over them."
my face gets red easy too. And my friends point it out and laugh at it and makes it even worse. I hate it!!!

My best answer is, is that you are nervous or stressed out , because that happens to me too and I am in 8th grade and when I think about it it gets red cause I stress out about it , my friend's get very annoyed with me when I ask them , but the top part of my and and my whole chest gets red blotches and it looks very abnormal ! Mine is getting better by breathing and not thinking about it ! Hope this helps thanks!
