Reply:When I was about 21 and going through a stressful time (my partner left me with a 7 week old baby and i was half way through a teaching degree) I developed really itchy fingers and ankles/heels. I wrongly thought I had a verrucae! When over the counter remedies made this worse I went to my GP who asked if I had suffered with eczema as a child I hadn't so he concluded it was brought on by stress. I still get itchy fingers whenever I'm stressed at work. I just immeadiately slap on some cream.
Reply:~Yes, stress can cause all sorts of physical and emotional problems. Don't be surprised if you get a rash too. Try to relax.~
Reply:This happens to me when I get all stressed out. I just started noticing it a few months ago. Just try to relax. It can't hurt to ask your doctor about it.
Reply:Itchy skin has been the Nemesis of my existence for about 10 years. I've been to a dozen doctors and dermatologists and found out that I might as well have consulted one of Houdini's fakers. I've tried a ton of creams, solutions but the best diagnosis was from a dermatologist on Maui-"Well, you've got 'itchy arm syndrome'.". HOW MANY YEARS DID YOU GET SCHOOLED? Anyway, yes, I do believe stress can be a contributing factor for your dillema but I'd go to a dermatologist just to check-at least you'll get a good chuckle out of it.
Reply:It is possible. Strange, but possible.





Anyway, don't worry, especially if he is getting treated. From what I came up with doing a rough translation, that's a form of acid reflux disease.
