I have never had skin problems until earlier this year. I turned 19 and suddenly in between my inner elbows, and along my forearms and wrists I had a very itchy rash. There were large circles of it and it became very irritated and would spread. I tried otc rash creams but it just would not go away! It lasted for about 2-3 months and finally went away. During this time I was experiencing extreme stress and depression. I heard somewhere that some peoples personality types or their thoughts can contribute to outbreaks of eczema. Does anyone know this to be true or happen to them?

What is an eczema 'flare-up'?
By nature, eczema symptoms come and go. At times, symptoms can be more severe, or the rash and itching can completely disappear for a long period. However, when symptoms suddenly reappear or become worse, it is called a 'flare-up'. A number of different factors appear to trigger 'flare-ups' of eczema.
'Flare-ups' happen when your skin comes in contact with irritants like soap, detergents, abrasive clothing (e.g. wool and synthetic fibers), perfume, carpet fibers, or dust. Overheating, excessive sweating, or low humidity can also trigger a 'flare-up'.

If you are a natural person you should try cognitive behavioral therapy. It was the only thing that has helped me with my horrible health anxiety. Read here https://tr.im/EndPanicAttacks
Your thinking determines your quality of life. Your thinking is what causes you these feelings:
Anxious, fearful, stressed or depressed
Constantly worried, or angry about something that is happening in your life
Struggling to overcome obsessive and negative thoughts.
If you change your thinking, you will change your life. This is the basic idea behind CBT for anxiety. The Cognitive part is where you learn nee methods and ways to change your same old habits and thinking patterns. If you keep thinking and expecting the worst – You will continue to suffer.

I have had eczema all my life and I heard it was caused by stress, anxiety, and depression too. But in my experience it comes and goes based more on wheather extremes especially humidity changes, either very low humidity or very high. Summer and Winter basically. Not scratching it and keeping it moisturized helps me the most. If you use steroid cremes, make sure to take a two day break out of every seven. Not good to use the steroid cremes all the time. Don't worry about your thoughts.

Eczema patients can avoid scratchy fibers for softer ones like bamboo, cotton, or silk, which are gentler on the skin. Opting to buy organic fibers can also be a wise, healthy, and eco-friendly alternative. Learn here https://tr.im/r3hba

stress can cause breakouts but won't be the reason why you have it.
Eczema is not curable but treatable. my ex girl had to maintain with creams that was prescribed to her to control the breakouts.. you should also avoid certain things like dyes in detergents or certain materials that irratate your skin... there are MANY different reasons that your breakouts can occur including puberty.
I would go to your doctor for tests to be done to ensure that you know what it is that yyou are going to have to avoid to prevent looking like an alligator
