I was treating a case of scabies and the rash was unbearable, I was not able to sleep and the itch was insane! I know much of this was in how I was thinking about the problem and I even started taking anxiety drugs, but that did not stop the itching. I tried numbing skin creams, those worked for a little while but over all it is mind over matter and staying focused on something else seemed to work best.

I know breathing works for pain control and nausea so it should work for itchy skin rash problems too. We underestimate the power of our minds to heal. For people that get health problems like chronic rashes and stomach issues from stress this is good to try out.

My mom had really itchy armpits for a month and it turned out it was her deodorant. But I notice when she gets overwhelmed by things with stress she scratches the top of her hands a lot so I think anxiety gives her itchy hands. When she exercises her stress level is better.

I know my severe itching is worse when I’m really stressed out but I think there is still causes of itchy skin that are physical too. Maybe it’s a combo of body and mind.

I will refer my brother to this article, I know when I had a bad shingles rash I was irritated about everything all the time. Now that I do tai-chi I think I’d be calmer if I developed a new rash. It takes repetition to get the emotions to stop jumpin around. Pictures of skin rash can freak you our but when you have one you can really lose it.
