Open Question: Can stress worsen my skin?

by John Kernstein on October 18, 2009

I have had eczema since I was really little and over the years it's appeared and disappeared from different places on my body. A few months ago I realised that the last of it was fading (on my elbows and my fingers) but recently it has gotten so much worse. I read somewhere that it could be stress related and that stress and anxiety can cause skin problems to worsen or appear. I did suffer from depression and it sometimes comes and goes. Anyone know if this is true and if there are any remedies to get rid of the eczema and stop the itching?
