A member asked:

I have hurd about skin stress i.e pimples etc because of chronic stress and anxiety . could somebody explain this please ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Pop sub-science: Everybody experiences stress -- it's only distress if you're truly helpless, and the claim that "stress" causes most disease is designed to sell dubious meditation practices etc. You do need that acne treated if that's what it is. Consider starting with benzoyl peroxide plus your doctor's rx for topical clindamycin; accept a systemic antibiotic if it's offered and you seem to need it. Good luck.
