A member asked:
When i have sudden and extreme fear or anxiety i feel itching and burning sensations all over on my skin for 30 seconds to max 1 minutes. what is that?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Mind-body connection: Sometimes anxiety can manifest as physical symptoms and signs. It may be due to local inflammation or irritation of the peripheral nerve endings in your skin that detect pain and other sensations. Some people develop an actual rash or other conditions. The nervous system and immune systems may be involved.
