A member asked:

Could anxiety cause red spots in body (look like a prickly heat)?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

MAYBE: Can be caused by many things and you do not give much in details. You can get a rash from anxiety or stress but other things too. See your physician and get them to take a look.
