> "A more radical surgical treatment has recently been developed to reduce blushing and sweating. A short operation interrupts the sympathetic ganglion nerve in the chest and this affects sympathetic signals to the blood vessels in the face. The procedure is carried out under a general anaesthetic and involves a keyhole (endoscopic) surgical technique where two small incisions are made in the area of the armpit. The technical term for this procedure is endoscopic thoracic sympathicotomy (ETC). "

I have blond/red hair, and fair skin...so I find blushing a BIG problem...leading to anxiety, etc.

Try a beta-blocker like propranolol, first. These meds work wonders for blushing.
