Stress can indeed contribute to the development of acne or exacerbate existing acne conditions. Signs of stress-related pimples may include increased breakouts, more severe or stubborn acne lesions, redness, inflammation, and overall worsening of skin condition. This correlation between stress and acne is due to hormonal changes, increased oil production, inflammation, and compromised skin immune function triggered by stress. Engaging in stress-reducing activities and maintaining a healthy skincare routine can help manage stress-related pimples.
