Huh! I've never heard of that, but it's definitely possible. You should talk with a doctor or psychiatrist when you can!

My sister has experience with this. She usually breaks out on her face when stressed. It's not always possible to remove the stress immediately so I recommend taking extra care with your skin. Using oatmeal products helps us both a lot, as well as staying moisturized. Oatmeal also helps with itching, and mint/menthol does as well.
