I am sure the doctor could help with that.
If not try a colour corrector cream (No7 at boots do a good one) its a green cream that you can wear alone or wear under make-up and it tones out redness in the skin. Might not work for extreme blushing, but it could help.
as for the chest i would say get some proper cover up make-up thats used for tattoos, scars and birth marks. Its transfer and water resistant so it wont come off on your dress and nobody would see the redness through it! Am sure there is loads on the market.
hope this helps a bit

I remember reading an article several years ago i think it was the wrvs volunteers at a hospital they run make up classes for people who have disfiguring marks/scars they were achieving fantastic results, now i am wondering how I will be able to contact them and ask about possibly attending one of thier sessions for advice.

I have a bright red birth mark below my lip and have been told to use the green stuff.....not had chance yet though xx

I use a product which is called correct and pefect, it's £10 and is great!!! Someone i know used it on a birth mark and it worked, none of the others did. It comes with the green/purple/light concelar and dark concelar all in 1 tub. Anyone want the link let me know?

Would this work for me ... I start with red patches on my upper arms, then I get them on my chest and often my next and the sides of my face - Its dead attractive!! No idea why it happens, the patches are very hot to touch. Should I just cover myself in makeup?!?!
CommentAuthorMelly
I have problems similar to that. I blush easily and always having rosy cheeks. My chest tends to go red whenever i eat, seems strange to me, at this i thought i had a slight allergy to something, but it doesnt matter what i'm eating. I'm quite conscious of it at times. xx
CommentAuthorlisalou-b2b
Bodies are the strangest things! Poeple often ask if im having an allergic reaction - which draws attention to it - which makes it worse!! Maybe abit of a tan would help ... 4wk holiday before the wedding should do it! x x
CommentAuthorDaffy
Well the product I use we only reccommend for the face but am sure you could use it on the neck too, but not sure about the bigger patches...might be best to go to the docs? They may give you some cream? x

I suppose they might be able to help. They rn't big patches, but the spread throught the day/event! I'd have to stop mid ceremony for a touch up!
