What does a stress rash usually look like?

Swelling: Stress can sometimes lead to hives. It can also cause flushing or even itching and redness. This would be similar to acute trigger for migraines, or other conditions which acute emotions can trigger.Chronic stress is less likely to cause these kinds of rashes.
