Okay.
I'm a male, 18 years of age.
I have this problem.
I get red cheeks. Okay it doesn't sound serious or anything, but it is really bringing me down.
I think I have always had them, but they have got worse in the last year or so, and that I have only recently really noticed them.
I've never had any problems getting girls or anything, and would consider myself somewhat attractive. But in the last 7-8 months I have noticed that my cheeks get very red.
It's almost like I have been running around none stop for half an hour! That's what it looks like but infact I have been doing absolutely nothing! Sometime it's not so bad, when I am sitting there doing nothing, but if I move around alot, or it is really cold outside, or hot, they get really red and I am just dead conscious about them.
Do girls find red cheeks really unattractive? It seems since I noticed the problem, getting girls has been more of a problem. When I go out clubbing and am in the dark I have no problem, but at school and stuff in the light I am not getting alot of attention.
It's just not fair. I play football, and I have friends who, after 90 mins of running around, look absolutely fine. No colour in their cheeks, and while I am fine with the fact that my cheeks are red after running around, my cheeks look like this (as I have already said) when I am doing no physical activities! I spose it wouldn't be AS bad if I couldn't feel that my cheeks were red, but I can! They burn a little too, like I am actually hot! Even when I am not!
I once read in a magazine there is some kind of operation you can have? Where the nerves that make your cheeks go red can be cut? But it is a very risky and tricky operation.
I've searched on the net for people with similar problems but not found alot. It's really getting me down, and it just makes me really conscious.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
