Does Anxiety And Nervousness Cause Red Blotchy Marks Appear On Face ,arms And Chest?
Hello, my name is Kristiyan and i'm a 19 years old. I have this problem whenever I get nervous, tired or sad, red blotchy marks appear on my chest , face and arms. It started about 3 years ago, it is really annoying and it itches alot and the only way to get it away is to stop thinking about it, but that's really hard. I've asked a couple of doctors, but they all say it's allergy and i'm pretty sure it's not , because all the prescriptions they gave me never helped! I've also read alot of forums and from what I understand other people with sensetive skin have it too, but no one seems to know how to get rid off it! I would really appreciate if you can help me with this.

Red blotches is almost never the only sign that you're stressed. Red blotches may be a sign of an illness, or they may be a flare up of an unwanted skin condition or allergy. But often when they pop up during times of intense stress, they're the result of anxiety. For anxiety u can do relaxation exercise and low dose benzodiazepine.

Dear Kristiyan,
Thanks for posting a query at healthcare magic.
Yes blotchy marks can be caused by nervousness and anxiety but they do not occur in the way that are appearing for you.
With available description I think the problem is allergic but the manifestation are occurring when high histamine release occurs when you feel tense or nervous.
For the diagnostic confirmation you can take clonazepam 0.5 mg when you are having these symptoms. If you feel relieved with this present yourself to me through online or any other doctor to get confirm treatment. Even isf you do not feel any relief with this drug you can contact a skin specialist for allergy test.
Thanks
