Published on : 02/05/2022 – 09:00

Go pale when we are afraid, blush when we are stressed, feel itchy when we are upset… The skin reflects our emotions. Some strong emotions, traumas can also result in dermatological problems: eczema, psoriasis, cold sores, acne, etc. This reactivity of the skin can create a vicious circle: dermatological problems are thus the result of stress, but they can also have repercussions on the mental state of patients.
