Question:
Is Stress Causing This Rash and Hives?
Sometimes when i get stessed, it feels like my skin is crawling. Like bugs are walking all over me. I thought it sounded gay, so i never called the doctor to see what it was. I have this new job, and I usually end up working 9 hours straight (standing up) just so I can be sure to get all of my work done. Saturdays and Sundays are the worst at work. On Saturday, I got SUPER stressed at work. Like...was about to just start bawling then walk out. My skin started crawling again, then I would scratch and there would be this little bump that looks kinda like a mosquito bite. I only had one on my forearm, then it spread to the back of my neck, on my legs and REALLY bad on my back and on my stomach. It looks kinda like chicken pox. Ive had chicken pox 3 times...REALLY bad, plus shingles. I wouldnt think it would be possible to get them again though?? Also, on my legs im getting a rash, that looks like little bruises. i think it might just be from scratching so hard? WHAT IS GOING ON! pls hlp!
Answers:
You're right, I get those too when I'm stressed and they itch like mad. A steroid cream from my Dr. helped a bit, but not a complete fix. Reducing the stress by changing jobs was a better option for me.
Good luck.
