I have really sensitive skin. Stress,
heat, extreme temperature changes, as well
as a few products, make my skin really
blotchy and red. Sometimes, my skin is
even sensitive to touch. I used to think
that it was solely an anxiety thing, but
it happens with just the slightest amount
of stress. Sometimes it goes away within
a few minutes; other times it won't go
away for about 20 minutes. It occurs on
my arms, chest, neck, and face. I'm
wondering if there is a general technical
term for this kind of condition. For some
reason, I think it would make me feel a
lot better if I actually knew what it was
called. Also, i'm wondering if it's
possible that it was caused by something I
did in the past. (i.E. Overusing
products not meant for sensitive skin or
excessive sun exposure).
