Wikipedia description:

Blushing or erubescence is the reddening of a person's face due to psychological reasons. It is normally involuntary and triggered by emotional stress associated with passion, embarrassment, shyness, fear, anger, or romantic stimulation. Severe blushing is also common in people who have social anxiety, in which the person experiences extreme and persistent anxiety in social and performance situations.
