A member asked:
I have a rash on my legs and seems to be spreading is this caused by stress and how should i treat it?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Rash: Yes it could be caused by stress especially if the rash is hives. In general the most common rash i seen on the lower legs of women is an itchy rash from shaving. See a dermatologist for more details about your problem because likely you need prescription medications if it is from "stress".
