Skin inflamed

[Jwahl16]

Does anyone get skin inflammation from stress or anxiety? This symptom popped up for me about 2 months ago and has come and gone a lot since then.

It’s on most of my body but worst in my chest, back, and hands. My palms and inside of my fingers feel a little stiff/swollen and get red/blotchy especially when I move around. As far as my chest/back... they’re red and a bit warm. I can literally place my hand on my skin and leave a pink handprint which stays for a couple seconds.

I think I’m stressing myself out too much over this and other symptoms I’ve been having but would appreciate to hear whether anyone else has the same thing.

Stress itself can cause irritated skin. If your mind is continuosly thinking about it, chances are the slightest irritation will be very noticeable. It could be stress, it could be allergies from the weather. Its pretty common regardless and you will be ok just try not to stress yourself by thinking it could be a bigger issue then what it really is

If I pay too much attention to my how my skin feels, I feel like my skin itches some. But if I don't think about it, I hardly ever notice that.

anxiety can cause hyper-reaction to many stimuli...which also includes the skin

Thank you all. I think I already knew this was the answer. Need to learn to let it go!

I have been having this sensation for about a week now, it litterly feels like my stomach is inflamed and almost a numb like feeling.. Of course as usual I start to panic.. Just a stomach ache can make my anxiety go hay wire...I'll give you a quick example, last couple weeks I have been doing a lot of pacing outside on my property as I have a hard time staying inside during these times..Well I tend to go outside a lot with a black hoodie on since temps are still a bit chilly (50s,60s) and with a wide open property I catch a lot of Rays. A few days back I started to get a burning sensation on my stomach, shoulders and face/head, so I started to automatically assume I have something terribly wrong with me, then just yesterday my GF looks at me and says holy crap you have a lot of sunburn on your face/head and shoulders lol So that burning sensation was simply sunburn and because I continued to go outside I wasn't allowing it to heal..So sensations that a normal person doesn't think twice about causes extreme heartache for myself. ..

Yeah totally understand. Guess it’s all part of the hyper-sensitivity anxiety causes.
