Abstract
College can be a cause of increased psychological stress, especially given the complex social, academic, and financial pressures faced by today's students (1, 2). The association between psychological stress and the manifestation or exacerbation of different skin diseases is well established (3-8). Previous studies that demonstrated an association between stress and skin symptoms focused their analyses on a single skin disease. Therefore, this questionnaire-based cross-sectional study aimed to assess the relationship between perceived psychological stress and the prevalence of various skin symptoms in a large, randomly selected sample of undergraduate students.
