My face gets RED at crazy times

Does anyone know how to stop my face from getting RED RED RED at the most stupid moments?  I am 38 and a dynamic person, usually, but, I seem to get flustered or something all the time.  I think I get flustered because I KNOW IT'S COMING....THE RED FACE!!!!!  I just can't seem to shake it.  I have been held back all my life due to this and would be happy to know how to cure it!
Thank you all,
Me

I also have the same issue.  I'll get the least bit excited or embarassed or frustrated and my face will feel a thousand degrees hotter and turn as red as a coke can.  Just feeling my face get hotter makes my emotions ten times more intense than they should be.  I'm trying to come to terms that it's just me and it's what makes me unique.  As frustrating and embarrasing as it can be, trust me I'm in highschool and I already have enough to be self-concious about, it's just one of those things you have to tell yourself that you can either stress out about it or try and accept it.  Another thing i believe is that people this happens to are more passionate and have a huge awareness or whats going on around them.
Wish I could be more help, just know there's others out there going through the same bull! haha. take care.

The burning red face is part of my anxiety too. I call it the anxiety burn effect. I am questioned by people if I am ok. Over the years people who know me just understand it is just how I process things. SInce I have been seeing a therapist for the last 16 months the burn is not so bad. The intensity and duration seems less or I have just accepted it. I am a successful teacher and function with the burn very well. Do I like it, No..Acceptance and moving on has what has helped me. Sorry I couln't help you more..Just remember "this too shall pass." If you can go to therapy it is worth it. Finding the right therapist is the key..Keep us posted.

PEACE
