Stress Related Hives

Alopecia StressThe appearance of hives on a person's body is usually directly related to chronic stress and tension in a person's life. When a person experiences a high level of stress for a significant period of time, his immune system may be affected, resulting in the appearance of stress related hives. If an individual suffers from chronic hives, then it is pertinent that he discover ways to relax and relieve the tension. Stress related hives typically disappear once the body enters into a more relaxed state.

Hives can also be triggered by a variety of allergens, which may include medications, food colors and dyes, and certain types of food such as peanuts, which many individuals are allergic to. Individuals find themselves more affected by these allergens if their chronic stress has already served to weaken their immune system responses, effectively serving to make the body unable to cope with these allergens. Again, the best treatment for stress related hives is to relax, and try to reduce the level of stress on a steady basis.

Stress related hives occur due to a strong link between emotional upsets or traumatic experiences with skin ailments. There are nerve endings connected to the skin that circulate throughout your entire body. Stress affects these nerves, and the reaction is felt on the skin in the form of stress related hives. There is a branch of medicine devoted to studying and treating stress related hives called psychodermatogy. This practice also deals with other skin conditions and disorders such as acne, eczema, hives, rosacea, psoriasis, alopecia, vitiligo, trichotillomania, and self-mutilation disorders.

Recommended treatments of stress related hives include relaxation exercises such as meditation, massage, acupuncture, counseling, yoga or hypnosis. Additionally, medication such as antihistamines may sometimes be prescribed by a doctor if the hives are determined to be allergen related. However, the best methods serving to reduce the chances of developing another stress related illness or a skin rash would be to simply relax and reduce your daily level of stress.

Hypnosis is sometimes used to treat stress related hives, especially when the hives are chronic or recurrent. Stress related hives are also treated through homeopathic remedies.

How long is it until I have a nervous breakdown?
I've been stressed all my life, seriously. when I was a baby I was always angry, moody etc. Lately I've been crying unsuspectingly. I am scared to leave the house, but I'm not scared to go to school (15 years of age) My heart beats really loud in my ears. I see double and I'm snappy to people. I shake and cant concentrate my eyes. Anything anyone tells me I'll forget it in 4 minutes, I'm called dumb for it. I'm losing my hair (Alopecia: stress related) I'm angry at everyone, I just want to kill anyone I meet eye contact with. For example, while I was writing this: I was angry to the point of shaking and shouting at myself. 3 minutes later I started crying. I just don't know what to do with myself (Don't say it's my hormones, because it's really not, thanks...:3) At times I can be really nice to people, I want to make them happy. But then there are times when I just want to rip their eyes out and shove it so far up their ass they will be able to see their heart beating. Please help me. Forgot to add: Eye twitching. Sleeping constantly, but I wake up 3-4 times a night. @Sherman: :3 I try to talk to my mother, but she just says that I'm attention seeking and rolls her eyes, I'm alone, there's nothing I can do but wait to go completely insane. @Robin: So you're saying that when I was about 6-10 years old my body was going through ''changes''? I've always been this way, and now it's really effecting me, get your facts right, BUD. It's people like you I really cant stand, but I know writing this now in about 10 minutes I'll look back and feel bad for you. But for now your an ass that needs to climb out of your own ass and take a peek down from that big head of yours, get me? scramrat.

Am I starting to bald?
I'm 21 years old Chinese male living in the US. My family has no history of male pattern baldness. Details: In the past year, my scalp has been off and on itchy I've started to develop dandruff I've noticed the hair on the sides of my head getting a bit thinner (where one would normally expect MPB to start), but I haven't lost anything in terms of hair line. There's like two maybe 1 cm long lines (imagine from my ears going forward to right outside both of my eyes) where the hair is very thin. I also may have been under more stress this past year than in time's past. No one has commented on any hair loss of mine yet, as it's not that serious. The crown of my head feels a bit thinner. The hair at my crown feels very brittle sometimes. My hair has become much more oily. I notice a lot of small wispy hairs come out (like less than 1 cm long) fairly often. I don't have much hair loss on my shower or pillow at night. I've tried a variety of shampoos (Head and Shoulders, Coal Tar shampoo) to try and stop the itch, but it's still there to varying degrees. It's not an iron deficiency or thyroid deficiency as I've had those checked out through blood tests for other purposes. I also have a history of hives, shingles, and a bit of angiodema. Is this male pattern baldness (androgenic alopecia), stress related (telogen effluvium), or something else?
