Can someone please answer and tell me what kinds of skin problems you have experienced, if any. I have been having issues with my skin and I do not seem to have relief from it I notice flare ups when I am stressing over Intrusive thoughts.

Ok that's quite natural what you are experiencing. All skin problems are made worse by stress nd worry, it's the body's outer layer and it reflects what's happening inside. This is just an outside reflection of what's happening inside. There are things you can do to help prevent this but without going into a full diagnosis with you it's difficult to say. Suffice to say though when you relax your skin will relax as well. Be aware that alcohol, cigarettes and certain foods are very bad for the skin and how it looks.
