Default Stress rash?

Had this for a few days.

Can't think of anything else that could cause it except stress of starting new job and immense anxiety, sweating etc.

what do you reckon it looks like?

Could some skin product maybe have caused it? If it doesn't go away i'd worry. But if a skin product didn't cause it, or anything else irritating you can think of i'd probably put it down to stress.

Well just read the leaflet that came with my meds, clomipramine.

said this :- - side effects section - An allergic reaction ( swelling of the lips, face or neck leading to skin rash or hives or difficulty breathing ) this is a very serious but rare side effect you may need urgent medical attention

hmmm, scary

You've been taking them ages right? and only just got that. Personally i'd put it down to something else, not the meds.

They're referring to anaphylactic shock, if you were suffering from that, you'd know about it and would likely be in hospital (my dad's allergic to aspirin so I've seen in it action; not pretty).

Probably a stress thing, stress does weird things to the human body

Stress can really take its toll on the body and I get a similar rash on my face when I am very stressed.
