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.

Meth and rashes: Any chemical you take into your boda can cause a reaction including a rash. The breakdown products are present in sweat so they will be passing through the skin.

Methamphetamine: Meth has very serious and disfiguring side effects. It can be life threatening. The rash that occurs with meth does not come out the pores. It is a consequence of the drug. It may cause you to constantly pick at your skin and there is a side effect called formication or crank bugs which makes you think ants are crawling on your skin, hence the picking. It will also destroy your teeth. Stay away!

Yes: Yes meth by itself and many impurities in it can cause skin rashes and it is excreted in sweat via skin pores in trace amounts
