If you Feel Itchy - Blame it on Stress! Our Skin provides the first level of defence to infection, serving not only as a physical barrier, but also as a site for white blood cells to attack invading bacteria and viruses. Current research suggests that stress may also activate immune cells in your skin, resulting in inflammatory skin disease. This can result in inflammatory skin diseases such as atopic dermatitis and psoriasis. Major stress can trigger an outbreak in patients suffering from inflammatory skin conditions. So the next time you feel itchy, it may not be entirely due to bad hygiene!
