Hey guys,

So I have this weird rash on and off for around 6 months. I get on my thighs, arms and chest. At first I thought I was an allergic reaction but I don't know how I could continently* get it for 6 months. The reason I'm posting about it now is because it got really annoying recently. is it possible to be caused by stress.

I would greatly receive any info about stress rashes and if they exist and websites that have picture examples of the rash

Thanks :)

May I ask some questions?

1) Does the rash itch / burn or is it sensitive to touch or hot or cold temperatures?
2) What color is the rash? Is it splotchy or filled in color? Is it raised or flat? If it is raised, is it bumpy or is all of it raised to a smooth like level?
3) How long of a period does it stay? How long does it take to come back?
4) Within the past 6 months, have you used any new kind of soap / body wash, detergent, lotion, etc...?
5) If you have a reason to think it's a stress rash, what might be going on right now that could cause that much stress? If you don't feel like posting it here, you should talk to someone. Stress can cause a lot of problems, and if it's severe enough to cause physical ailments like a rash, you need to talk!

I would suggest keeping a log of when it starts / stops and what you eat / do / use before it occurs how it feels / does it look different / etc. This might help you figure out what is causing the rash if it is not related to stress. If you're allergic to something, you might want to avoid it to prevent further issues with the rash!

Hope this helps,
Amy
