I am 24, an athlete, blood pressure is fine. Don't get me wrong, I will turn red from embarrassment, but 99% of the time it's from temperature change. I'm a teacher in a school with no A/C, so I'm prone to attacks at any time and also in the winter because the heat can be suffocating. I am completely comfortable speaking in front of my students and peers, and this condition strikes me just as often when I am alone at home. It also happens if I have a couple of beers or take an evening shower. A hot shower in the morning doesn't turn them red.
It's just very embarrassing, I avoid certain social situations because of the fear....the students and faculty never say anything, they are too polite, but I know what they must be thinking, that I look ridiculous. A white face but with bright red, actually purple ears.
Is there anything I can do to cure this? I would even wear makeup on my ears if I thought it would help. It sucks because beside this red/purple ear problem I'm a confident guy
