Facial Flushing: A number of diseases include facial flushing as a symptom. In rosacea, a chronic inflammatory skin condition, flushing is the major symptom. Rosacea sufferers often have a history of flushing before the disease progresses to include other symptoms such as broken blood vessels and red, blister-like papules. There are other medical causes so see your doctor.

Symptom of anxiety: This is a symptom of anxiety, especially the facial flushing of social anxiety disorder. Best wishes. Please make sure you are seeing a psychiatrist and are in therapy. I had social anxiety at your age (and its now been treated since age 31 and I am now 58). I remember how embarrassing that facial flushing was. Lopressor (metoprolol tartrate) can help, but if it doesn't, see a psychiatrist for options. Happy new year!
