Anxiety and blushing

Does anyone have any advice on how to treat blushing when feeling nervous or anxious. My whole neck, chest and face go bright red and I look like a beetroot, I'm really pale too so that doesn't help.

I’m the same, has got better with age!

Mine is my red neck and I invariably end up wearing a polo neck if I have to do a presentation at work.
Is it to do with blood vessels?

Trying to cover it with concealer has no effect.

Could you not use a green colour corrector under make up, sorry if it's no use . I haven't blushed since early twenties .

Beta blockers saved me. Ask your GP for a prescription for public speaking. I take them when I have an important meeting/presentation but they would probably work for you in times when you will blush but don’t want to. Say if you know there is a big work meeting coming up or social event.
