A member asked:
Can you tell me if crystal meth use can cause periorbital cellulitis?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Periorbital cellulitis is loosely related to orbital cellulitis, the latter being an extremely dangerous, emergency medical condition. Both involve infection of the eye region and are caused (largely) by straphylococcus and streptococcus. Crystal meth use can cause periorbital cellulitis.
