What To Do If Suffering From Chronic Neck And Chest Blotchiness Which Happens When I Get Nervous, Excited Or Upset?

I have suffered from chronic neck and chest blotchiness for many, many years. It happens when I get nervous, excited or upset. It can happen while talking on the phone or even just talking to an old friend. I have researched this issue over and over again and have not found anything that works. What would you suggest?

Hi,

You seem to have ecchymoses on neck and face off and on. It it's precipitated after psychological disturbances.. So, it may be psychogenic purpura.Psychogenic purpura also called Gardner-Diamond syndrome is the occurrence and spontaneous recurrence of painful ecchymosis following emotional stress and minor trauma. Although the exact mechanism of this syndrome remains unknown, apart from skin lesions, different types of hemorrhaging have been reported, such as epistaxis, gastrointestinal bleeding, and bleeding from the ear canals and eyes. You consult dermatologist for firms diagnosis. Thrombophob oint may be applied on the lesions. Vitamin C and K may be taken for long time. Antipsychotic drugs may be taken under supervision of psychiatrist. Yo may be alright. I hope you got my answer.

Thanks.
