Hello Marie, yes, contact dermatitis is a TMS equivalent. Psoriasis, allergies, food intolerance, pretty much everything immune related. Research science shows that the brain has a representation of every part of the body as it relates to immune functioning. There are memories of the immune system. The immune response can be conditioned, like pain. It is activated through... The autonomic nervous system. Of course the researchers are careful never to mention that a thing like an emotion or a thought could be involved in the process, so the reasons why it happens are my "speculation."
The brain can actually detect substances very quickly, and makes the decision whether or not to produce an inflammatory response that can be exaggerated in severity or entirely unnecessary. The brain does this for the same reasons that it makes a decision to produce pain or not.
When someone told you that was going to be the rest of your life, that was a nocebo.
