I had a long argument with my ex, and my skin literally broke out from the stress. I have an army of pimples on my forehead and chin. Is this completely due to stress, or do the things I’m eating also play a role? Does anyone have a quick-acting product recommendation to calm the skin in such a situation?
It’s probably due to stress, because I used to have similar issues during my finals period. Get a zinc oxide cream from the pharmacy to calm your skin down right away; it helps a lot overnight.
What kind of logic is this, you argue with your ex and the blame goes directly to stress. Maybe you ate too much chocolate, greasy foods, or something else during that time? I think you shouldn’t just dismiss it as completely stress.
Yes, stress is a serious factor, but suddenly appearing acne can also be triggered by hormonal imbalances. The chin area is generally more related to hormones. I recommend consulting a dermatologist; they might prescribe a temporary medication.
You’re right, I might have eaten some junk food after the fight. But it feels like this many pimples can’t just be from what I’ve eaten. I think there’s a direct connection with stress.
I think the pimples that appear on the chin area are related to lying; they say “lies come out on the face”. Were you honest in your arguments with that ex? Maybe it’s connected to that.
