Can emotional stress directly cause pimples?
5 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Stress and Acne: The mind and the body are connected. This is not eastern philosophy, it is undisputable physical reality. Emotional stress affects our endocrine (hormone) system, disgestive system, repiratory system, immune system, and various other bodily systems. We know that stress can aggravate acne.

No: Acne can cause stress much more than the reverse.
