Question 1

i am experiencing  skin rash around my neck (quality: itchiness, red or bluish purple)m. skin redness or irritation. could it be methamphetamine abuse?

Accepted Answer

Yes: rashes are common with meth abuse, and abuse of many other agents.  You need an ER consult and treatment for meth abuse.

Question 2

i have taken crystal meth n now my mouth is really dry n have got red bumps on my tongue n its swollen n bumps r really painful..any suggestions?

Accepted Answer

Stop taking meth: Continue to use meth, and you will very likely die of it -- but first, you'll bring misery to yourself and to everyone who loves you. I suspect you already realize this, and that your courage in writing reflects a changed attitude and a commitment to recover after this terrible mistake. A support group and/or professional help may save your life.

Question 3

are there any skin rashes commonly associated with diabetes...are they treatable and how can they be prevented.help.thanks?

Accepted Answer

Diabetic skin issues: Yes-- there are some skin conditions specific to diabetics and other common ones that are more frequent in diabetics.    A good discussion by the American Diabetes Association is at   http://www.diabetes.org/living-with-diabetes/complications/skin-complications.html?referrer=https://www.google.com/.   Good control of diabetes and normal skin care are the basics of prevention.

Question 4

how to treat a meth rash?

Accepted Answer

This very serious.: You need to work with an addiction medicine, stop the meth and be evaluated by a dermatologist.

Question 5

from adderall (dextroamphetamine and racemic amphetamine) to the xr 20mg on wednesday. 4 days ago. 24 hours now i have been getting dizzy spells and a lobster red skin rash, all over my body?!

Accepted Answer

Drug reaction: Stop xr and notify the prescibing doctor. Ok to use zyrtec on Benadryl (diphenhydramine) for the rash; however, seems to be a drug reaction.

Question 6

can smoking meth cause rashes can it come out pores?

Accepted Answer

Yes and no: Yes, meth can cause skin rash. No, it doesn't come out your pores. The skin has LOTS of capillaries which carry the meth all through your skin. That can cause an immune reaction in the skin or change its structure leading to chronic skin inflammation or infection that can be lifelong. Experienced doctors, police etc know what meth rash looks like. It's like tattooing "meth head" on your forehead.

Do not use tobacco, alcohol, weed or street drugs in any form. 
Practice safe sex, if you have sex.
