A member asked:
Can anxiety and stress cause dry and flaky skin?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes, although this: is less common than the other 32 symptoms (tachycardia, rapid breathing, sweaty palms, etc.). Assume not and visit a dermatologist first just to be safe. Then consider dealing with stress. You might consider seeing a mental health pro.
