An individual encountering prolonged stress is prone to suffer from skin infection because:
1
Corticotropin Releasing Factor (CRF) flows into the blood causing damage to the skin.
2
Adrenalin released into blood absorbs the vitamin B that is necessary for nourishing the skin
3
Cortisol released into blood causes damage to the T and B cells in the WBC
4
Corticosteroids get deposited in the skin due to stress
