After reading the site I'm not sure If this would also help with flushing from temperature change, emotions etc.. I don't know If it just helps when you're nervous.
It's a blushing operation that cuts out a nerve that causes anxiety. I'm not sure if it helps from heat flushing and blsuhing though if anybody knows please tell me . god bless

The surgery is called ETS (endoscopic thoracic sympathectomy) and it is primarily effective for excessive sweating although it usually eliminates blushing too. Sadly, it does nothing for flushing. I have had it myself and it's a serious business since they have to deflate your lungs so they can clamp the T2 ganglia. Sadly, most Doctors I have met are completely ignorant when it comes to knowing the difference between blushing and flushing - the majority of them even use the words interchangably. I know of more then one other guy with KPRF who also had ETS with no results for redness or flushing. However, if you are seriously troubled by classic blushing (redness which comes and goes quickly from embarasment) then it's worth considering.
