Bright red blushing... help please!

I have an embarrassing issue in that my face CONSTANTLY flushes red. It happens even if I'm just slightly embarrassed. It also happens if I'm laughing, anxious, upset or stressed and it's really noticeable.
Does this happen to anyone else? Any tips or tricks to hide it? I use full coverage makeup and it does nothing.
People point it out when I go red, which of course makes it worse. I've had a bad day today, it's been pointed out on 3 separate occasions today and I just want to cry.

I'm 28 and fairly pale, just for context.
Help please!

P.s sorry if this is on the wrong board, I wasn't sure where to post it.

You could try a green colour correction cream under your foundation like this from Superdrug

MUA Pro Base Prime & Conceal Correcting Cream - Green £2.

Other makes are available from most make-up counters

This is a very drastic option but there is an operation that would sort this out called a sympathectomy. I've had it but for a sweaty hand problem (but it's the same nerve they operate on that controls blushing). I didn't have a major blushing problem (just a sweaty one) but I don't blush at all now.

Just an option.
