A member asked:

Can chronic anxiety cause itchy hives on chest?

A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dr. John Chiu answered

Possible: Anxiety and stress have been known to induce or aggravate hives. However this diagnosis is usually made after the common causes have been ruled out. The most common type consists of small red itchy bumps called cholinergic urticaria.
