I don't know about skin conditions being caused by anxiety, but I do notice when I am very anxious, I will itch a lot more. The itching seeming to be random areas. The more I scratch, the more it itches, and the more anxious I get.  The redness could be from scratching.

I don't know if that is what you're decribing or not. I also have what seems to be chronic dry skin.

well, the redness happened last night after i scratched it was blood red dots(petachies) which have mostly gone away still u can see like a pink bruise where i scratched, I also get dry skin, and it also itches.

I was diagnosed with anxiety about two months ago and I have been having muscle pains since last week. Thats kinda freaking me out.
