Does Stress Cause Itchy Red Rashes On The Neck And Back?
I had a Shingles shot in 2009. Thought I would have protection. I am 76, female. Just lost a Daughter 4 weeks ago. (my 4th child) I have 3 sons and another Daughter. In the past few days, I have very itchy red raised area on my neck. Has slightly spread to my arm and a few on my neck and back. Never had this before. I consider myself healthy, still work.(been a widow for 23 yrs.) I can only relate this to the loss of My Daughter and stress that goes with a loss. I will be seeing a Dr. tomorrow. Any thoughts? I have kept my hands away even tho very ichy.

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
I may be urticaria which is an allergic reaction to food items or drug. Urticaria may be caused by stress. As you are going to consult a doctor, you can avoid scratching the lesion by applying a Calamine lotion.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
