Stress Exaggerates Skin Diseases
Stress has been shown to cause many a health issues that may lessen the quality of life. A link that establishes stress as a major cause of skin irritation though still under debate shows the great power the brain has over the parts of the human body. This overreaction results in rashes or itchy sores, that if compounded by skin diseases like psoriasis and dermatitis makes it worse. The direct link of the human brain to the skin is a very important one for the skin is the first defense of our body against invading germs and bacteria. This reaction by the human immune system though natural and automatic has the ability to react wrongly to stress leading to skin disorders without any underlying cause. Further study hopes to determine why the immune system attacks itself due to a mental condition and the mechanism that causes the system to go haywire.
