My cheeks are alwas red and have been for 10 years now. I´am 30. What I really hate is the flushing when I have some alkohol or in situations where i´am stressed ( adrenalin in blood)I´am even thinking about quiting my job.
Please help me - anyone. i´am not using any products at all right now. Thanks everyone

Look into a laser treatment, specifically a V Beam or Long pulse laser. This has helped my redness some, but not as much as I would like. I think others on this site have had better progress. Be sure to have a doctor do it though. Just about any quack can get a laser and really burn your skin badly(personal experience). Also, don't use real strong cosmetic agents on your face such as retin-a because they can irritate it. Good luck.
