Body Acne

I started to notice red bumps on my chest and abdomen area. I immediately started to freak out of coarse. I started thinking this morning that it is acne. Has anyone experienced this due to anxiety and how the heck do I clear this up? I’m going to ask my gp but I’m almost 100 percent sure. I’m not very happy about this.

Yes when I'm stressed and anxious I come out in them or when on medication

My gp is going to think I’m silly when I bring this up. It started when I was taking lexapro for a bit oddly enough

Well, in August I had a very strange thing happen Dr's had no clue about. Started with what looks like acne in a line up my belly, then turned into a month long histamine reaction. I would have hives come up and go and if I scratched anything, I would welt up. I was so itchy. I live a super clean life from food to my environment. Nothing changed. It may had been connected to anxiety bacauaethis is when my health started taking another downturn with symptoms. It's incredible how powerful our minds are. I just keep telling myself, "I choose good health." I have been turning within and trying to let go. The past couple days have been a bit better. I went to an INCREDIBLE experience last night. A breath class. I can't even explain the technique. I will get more specifics and see what I can share. It was incredible.

I get it. It is so weird though. I think it is screwing up my metabolism too. I also eat clean too so it almost has to be the anxiety. I have felt pretty good the last couple of days though. Almost clear headed.

Our gut is our 2nd brain, so it makes sense. Our "brains" have to be healthy to be in sync. Keep doing for you. We have got this.💗

I get acne as well. It’s a pretty common symptom from anxiety.

I usually get it on my chest so it’s not visible. Some of the symptoms of anxiety are really odd. I have full body pain that is caused by anxiety. Anxiety affects the nervous system so almost any symptom can occur.

My wife gets the red rash on the chest when stressed. But it doesn't last for long so if not gone in a few days see the doc.

I’ve already gone. I’m going tomorrow too though I’m definitely going to ask again

You know what’s weird though. I had this about two years ago when my anxiety disorder erupted out of nowhere. Recently my anxiety has ramped up to almost the same level.

Dandruff shampoo is made to eliminate body oils. I have heard it works on acne. Try a good one . Pam
