Can Stress Cause Red And Itchy Rashes On The Arms?

Clarifications requested please
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thank you for your query.
I'm Dr. Shuba Hariprasad and will be answering your query today.
Would you clarify a few things for me, please?
*what do the rashes look like? Are they raised? How big? Any discharge or ooze?
*how long have you had it?
*are the rashes only on your arms? Is the affected area exposed to the sun?
*any bite marks) or scabs over wounds visible?
*were you in an area with a lot of trees/plants) (like a garden/forest/marsh)?
*do you have any other medical issues or take any medications?
*any medications that you started taking or changed recently?
*do you apply any creams/lotions or other cosmetic products over the affected area?
*what is your height and weight?
*do you smoke or consume alcohol.
It sounds more like an allergic reaction. It is possible to be triggered due to stress if you already have another cause for the rash.
Please get back to me with the above requested information so that I may answer you better.
Wish you good health.
Regards,
Dr. Shuba Hariprasad
