Understanding and Treating Stress Rash

7. Prevention

The best way to prevent a stress rash is to preemptively address the issues that lead to stress. While it's rarely possible to eliminate stress in today's busy world, some things help a person better deal with stressful situations. Research shows that regular exercise, getting enough sleep, having strong social ties, and eating a healthy diet are excellent ways to destress. According to the American Psychological Association, 62 percent of people who walk or exercise say it helps them feel calmer.
