Hi does anyone else get red blotchy patches on there neck and upper body when stressed or in high anxiety/panic ??

My friend said to me the other day whats a matter you have red ptches all over your neck....AAHHHHH

HI,

I don't know exactly what causes it - maybe because some people's veins are closer to the surface ( think I've read that before ), but yes that happens to me sometime as well. I had to make a very stressful phone call yesterday and when I came off the phone my neck was like that and my face was like a beetroot!!:blush: I've also seen other people with this so it's just one of those things that happen to some of us!!

Have you read up on Urticaria Dan?

Better known by other more common names such as Hives, Nettle Rash etc.

Yes, I get exactly the same, its terrible, can never go to a social function wearing any sort of low neck without a scarf, tried green creams, cooling creams etc. etc. Can't really give you any advice as I have tried everything, just wanted you to know you are not alone in this,often thought its funny you never seem anyone on Tv with it!!!

I had a rash flare up on my neck a couple of months ago and it turned out to be my eczema. It was really itchy as well!

Yes they dont last for long and once i am calm again the patches disapear, i think like you say its just another symptom of stress and anxiety...

Oh if only for a stress free anxiety free life...

Thanks for the advice on here as I did not think that it was stress and anxiety related but looking at all your posts it definitely makes sense.
