itchy skin all over

I know when I get anxious/overly nervos/stressed I start to itch all over. Should I be alarmed by this or is it just my nerves reacting to all the stress I'm under? Do I need to seek a doctor or pretty much learn to calm down?

This is not uncommon when you have anxiety. I'm not sure why this happens but I also have anxiety and get the itching sometimes. It's usually my hands and feet mostly. I did research this and it said it can be caused by anxiety, but other things can cause it too. So like the above poster recommended, see your Dr to find out what's going on for sure.  Remar

I would make an appointment with someone to get looked at for this.  It sounds like some form of stress urticaria, but this is not my area of expertise.  You might have some kind of auto immune disorder, need help with anxiety, or it could be benign.  Either way, I would get checked out to be sure!
