A new survey has found that there has been a significant rise in itchy skin conditions, namely eczema and psoriasis, as a result of the recession.
The British Association of Dermatologists surveyed 105 medical experts who specialise in skin conditions and found that over 40% had seen a sharp rise in stress-related skin conditions such as eczema and psoriasis.

Other skin conditions that have seen a more moderate rise are vitiligo and acne.
