Does anyone get this while training, whether it's cardio, grappling, muay thai etc? I don't mind the whole overheated deal, but the red face that goes with it, is just annoying. Anyway, I know this may seem like a pointless thread, but I thought I would ask.

Do you have rosacea?
Quote: Rosacea has a hereditary component and those that are fair-skinned of European or Celtic ancestry have a higher genetic predisposition to developing it. Women are more commonly affected. People of all ages can get rosacea but there is a higher instance in the 30-50 age group. The first signs of rosacea are said to be persisting redness due to exercise, changes in temperature, and cleansing.
Triggers that cause episodes of flushing and blushing play a part in the development of rosacea. Exposure to temperature extremes can cause the face to become flushed as well as strenuous exercise, heat from sunlight, severe sunburn, stress, anxiety, cold wind, moving to a warm or hot environment from a cold one such as heated shops and offices during the winter. There are also some foods and drinks that can trigger flushing, these include alcohol, foods and beverages containing caffeine (especially, hot tea and coffee), foods high in histamines and spicy food.
It runs in my family, theres not a whole lot of getting around it.

If you want to look pretty while you're fighting, you're in the wrong sport.
Perhaps you should be ballroom dancing.

Nope - just makes you look like you're knackered.
I'm a pasty white guy who turns all shades of red, even if I'm cruising. I don't mind not looking pretty, but it looks bad if a fight goes the distance and you look like you've been dragged behind a truck for 7 rounds

I got the same problem, my face turns bright red and stays that way for up to 20 minutes after training. I never really gave it a second thought because I am pretty pale skinned and 5 minutes out in the sun has me look like a lobster so I'm used to it.

Squatting and basketball. I turn into a damn jackolantern. Redness goes away pretty rapidly after I stop though.
