Avatar n tn And I get red acne type bumps on my face and scalp that turn into hardened bumps after trying to pick them and the bumps do not completely go away and almost leave a permanent little bump underneath the skin. My skin texture has changed, but it is hard for me to explain this... from smooth skin on my forehead to a kind of oily not so smooth surface.
Avatar n tn can stress cause hives and what can i do ? They are on my face, eye, head, and neck.
Avatar m tn t directly cause folliculitis as such, is it possible that someone with chronic stress and raised cortisol levels would find it much harder to shake off a case of mild folliculitis? Perhaps even be more susceptible to infection in the first place? Mine seem to be clearing with help from anti bac soap and hydrocortisone after. This is fine, but in 100% healthy people it seems that it should resolve on its own within a couple of days.
Avatar f tn These hormonal changes cause the body a great deal of stress and stress is one of the important factors thought to be causing hives. Although urticaria usually is idiopathic, but stress is an important causative factor. Please do not scratch the inflamed area as this may lead to open wounds and secondary infections. You may apply a mild steroid cream like 1% hydrocortisone cream and take OTC anthistaminics like Benadryl or Claritin. Application of calamine lotion also helps.
Avatar f tn There is some research that links chronic stress to the body releasing the labour starting hormones but my dr said its more likely just to increase your blood pressure and make you unwell making intervention more necessary. Try to relax as much as possible and just think in the next 1-3wks you'll be cuddling your baby!
Avatar n tn We live in a global society which makes it almost impossible to escape chronic stress-overload. It is the hypersensitive/hyperreactive individuals with, as Gabor Mate (Canadian M.D. and author) puts it, "emotional allergies", who are living out the roles of the canaries in this mine that is our world. A still-greater commitment in the medical community to awareness, education, and further research on the connection between emotional and physical health is crucial.
Avatar f tn Can stress cause muscle tiredness like the feeling when you exhaust your muscles when you work out mine are at the elbow the end of my bicep and above my knee that muscle feels tired I feel tires to some could this all be stress related and can stress cause alot of things to go on in the body?
1453933 tn?1285260910 While some amount of stress in unavoidable in our lives, trying to minimize chronic stress can really help out with a lot of health issues. Try hard to set aside a few minutes each day to do something that truly relaxes you; reading, hot bath, meditating etc. I like to sing at the top of my voice :-) Sounds trivial, but it might be the best thing you can do!! Good luck to you!!
Avatar f tn //www.heart.org/en/news/2020/02/04/chronic-stress-can-cause-heart-trouble While you don't have high blood pressure now, enough stress over time can lead to it. That can lead to heart attack. Also, when stressed, we sometimes don't take great care of ourselves. We may eat 'bad' food, we may not exercise, we don't sleep. all of this can play a role. Best to control the anxiety.
Avatar n tn Allergic reaction is one of the important causes of eczema. Psoriasis is a long-term (chronic) skin problem that causes skin cells to grow too quickly, resulting in thick, white, silvery, or red patches of skin. It is useful to apply a hand cream that offers barrier protection and moisturizing effect. Try to limit exposure of cold and wind to the hand. For exact diagnosis and treatment see a dermatologist. Hope it helps. Best luck and regards!

Avatar m tn Dermatographism can be caused by stress, tight or abrasive clothing, watches, glasses, energetic kissing, heat, cold, or anything that causes stress to the skin. In many cases it is merely a minor annoyance, but in some rare cases symptoms are severe enough to impact a patient's life. It can be treated by antihistamines or cromoglicate and sometimes steroids, as they prevent the histamine from causing the reaction.
Avatar f tn Hi, This is a condition called hives.Hives are red, itchy welts or swellings on the skin that often come in clusters. They sometimes have a light red or pale center surrounded by a darker red area around the borders -- a marking resembling tiny bull's eyes -- but may simply look like large red circles. In doctor speak, hives are known as "urticaria." Hives can appear anywhere on the body, cropping up either in one small area or covering large patches of skin.
Avatar f tn Heartburn/acid reflux is most commonly due to low stomach acid. I have been under a lot of chronic stress myself which has caused seriously low acid which has caused low nutrient levels notably iron (I have iron deficiency anaemia). The bloating from low acid is extreme after eating too. Then anal itching...TMI? lol I have been destressing with ASMR videos and taking betaine HCL with pepsin to increase stomach acid. Excerpts from Gallbladder attack - Chronic heartburn...
Avatar m tn Hi, I am 21 and I’ve have been diagnosed with Chronic Urticaria by my doctor. It started over a year ago for no reason and the symptoms include getting small red dots all over my skin after physical contact. If contact continues these small dots increase in number and form larger red welts with a raised white center. It is driving me nuts because it flares up whenever I rub my skin on anything. It is also extremely itchy if I don’t take anti-histamines every day.
Avatar m tn I agree that it is a bad idea to think of the worst when you hear a multiple symptoms. These symptoms could be due to chronic stress or fatigue of the skeletal muscles. Try relaxation and stress relieving measures. Otherwise, your doctor needs to investigate you for fibromyalgia where the symptoms are chronic, widespread pain, fatigue, heightened pain in response to tactile pressure.
Avatar f tn Chronic stress can harm the baby but its not too common to endure chronic stress only reason I know that is because I currently have chronic stress and if it doesn't get relieved I can send myself into preterm labor I'm 26 weeks 5 days just relax and try to enjoy your pregnancy things will work out :)
