Can rashes be caused by anxiety?
As a college student, my life can get very stressful. This year, I've noticed a mild rash on my fingers and hands, and it seems to happen when I have midterms and finals. Can rashes be caused by anxiety?

Stress can often show up in the skin. You can get certain dermatitis or eczema flare ups with stress. We recommend a health diet. Using mild soap like dove soap. Moisturizing daily and may need some cortisone or to see a derm to Diagnose the rash.
Yes dyshidrotic eczema of the hands is often triggered by stress.
