Psychological stress is associated with skin complaints such as itchy skin and flaky

patches on the scalp among college students, warns a new study.

The study aimed to assess the relationship between perceived psychological stress

and the prevalence of various skin symptoms in a large sample of undergraduate

students. “Previous studies have demonstrated an association between stress and

skin symptoms, but those studies relied on small patient samples, or focused their

analyses on a single skin disease,” said corresponding author of the study Gil

Yosopovitch from Temple University in Philadelphia, US.

For the study, over 400 undergraduate-aged patients were divided into groupings

labelled as low stress, moderate stress and high stress. The high stress group

suffered significantly more often from itchy skin, hair loss, oily, waxy or flaky

patches on the scalp, troublesome sweating, scaly skin, nail biting, itchy rash on

“These findings further suggest that non-pharmacologic therapeutic interventions

should be considered for patients presenting with both skin conditions and

heightened levels of psychological stress,” Yosipovitch noted. “Our findings

highlight the need for health care/dermatology providers to ask these patients

about their perceived levels of psychological stress. Disease flare or exacerbation

while on treatment in the setting of increased stress may not necessarily reflect

treatment failure,” Yosipovitch noted.

The study was published in the journal Acta Dermato-Venereologica
