Stress can indeed exacerbate acne or contribute to breakouts. Stress acne typically appears as small, red, inflamed bumps on the face, particularly around the chin, jawline, and cheeks. It may also manifest as increased oil production, leading to clogged pores and the formation of pimples, blackheads, or whiteheads. Stress-related acne can vary in severity and may be accompanied by other skin issues like sensitivity or dryness. Managing stress through relaxation techniques, a healthy lifestyle, and skincare routine adjustments can help improve the condition of stress-induced acne.
