I have a rash on my torso but no flu symptoms. it flares up when i get stressed or anxious and its been here for a little over a week. what is it?

Rash: A one time rash on your torso only could be a mild viral infection like pityriasis rosea but recurrent rashes from stress and tension would be nonviral. Have a dermatologist diagnose and treat you.
