Itchy spots possibly from stress?
I've come up in itchy spots for no real reason, I'm 24 but I've never had chicken pox, I don't know if it's just extreme stress or just wondering what it is?
Thanks, Jasmine

Re: Itchy spots possibly from stress?
Thank you for contacting us. The pictures look like urticaria (hives) and may benefit from an over the counter antihistamine (your pharmacist should be able to advise). Urticaria can happen for a number of reasons, and stress is a known trigger. The spots are usually raised, red, hot and itchy. Please do contact your healthcare provider if the problem is not improving or getting worse.
