Q: Rash on chest and neck

asked by: DoctorQuestion on February 8th, 2008

Could you possibly suggest a way in which I can control the rash on my chest and neck when I am nervous. I am getting really fed up with it and I try so hard to control it. I am getting really embarressed which is making it worse. Please help.

According to the symptoms you are manifesting (basically a rash on your chest and neck when you are nervous), you could be experiencing cholinergic urticaria. Cholinergic urticaria is a kind of allergic skin disorder provoked by psycho-emotional distress. Your rash could be a kind of psycho-somatic disorder. You may benefit from psycho therapy in order to learn how to calm nervousness. Obesity and sterility could also contribute to nervousness. If you're able to treat and solve the fertility problem, your rash-occurrence may pass.
