Stress-induced erythema annulare centrifugum.
Stress is known to play a role in the course of many skin diseases. We report here a case of erythema annulare centrifugum (EAC) that appeared to be associated with stressors in the patient's life. On multiple occasions, EAC appeared with these episodes and cleared upon their resolution without medical treatment. The patient was otherwise healthy and had no known previously reported associations for this condition.
