Stress
Although stress and anxiety are not responsible for causing atopic dermatitis, they can incite the symptoms. In stress conditions, the body releases a hormone called cortisol. When the person is continually facing stress and anxiety, the body’s cortisol starts to increase stress and anxiety, leading to skin inflammation. If the person is already suffering from atopic dermatitis, then the skin inflammation due to cortisol can make the condition worse. Even if the person is not suffering from eczema, factors like stress and anxiety can promote skin conditions.
