Manage stress! Our skin is one of the first organs affected during anxiety and stress situations. While stress is a significant risk factor in skin disorders, existing skin lesions can also intensify stress, leading to a vicious cycle.
- Some dermatoses (skin disorders) triggered by stress
- Acne
- Rosacea
- Eczemas
- Alopecia areata
- Urticaria
- Vitiligo
- Psoriasis
- Lichen disease
- Onychotrichomania (nail-hair pulling)
- Onychophagia (hair-nail biting)
- Telogen effluvium (hair loss)
- Hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating)
Stress is inevitable in life. However, there are certainly ways to reduce it.
Some of the most important ways in my opinion:
- Getting enough sleep
- Allocating time for yourself and engaging in activities you love
- Positive thinking and gratitude
