Erythrophobia is the fear of blushing in public, specifically blushing from embarrassment.

The shame of feeling inferior and the fear of the look or the judgment of others causes this phobia. The tendency towards excessive blushing generally appears from childhood. Different factors can then cause it to develop into a phobia of blushing. These factors include family (parents that are uncomfortable in society), environment (enduring mockery), and low self-esteem (you generally get inferior from a limited vulnerability).
