Symptom: Red bumps
What it might mean: It's more than just stress.
"Many times skin conditions are the outward appearance of psychiatric conditions," says Ronald Sulewski, MD, a Chicago dermatologist at Pinski Dermatology & Cosmetic Surgery. Some people with anxiety and depression pick at their skin to cope with unhappy emotions, leaving red marks, bumps, or bleeding behind. In that case, a dermatologist would refer you to your primary care doctor or a psychiatrist to uncover and treat the root problem.
