Blushing phobia, called erythrophobia, may also accompany social phobia.
People with blushing phobia typically experience extreme, uncontrolled blushing even in casual social situations. Knowing that others see them blushing causes considerable embarrassment and nervousness – and even more blushing.
Most people with social phobia may recognize that their fears are unreasonable and excessive, yet they typically are unable to control their anxiety, as well as the physical and psychological reactions experienced when they come face to face with the source of their fear.
