You have an allergy to methamphetamine. Never take it again, as you may develop tongue/ throat swelling and could possibly die(it sound dramatic but it is possible) . Acutely take Benadryl but then call 911 or have someone take you to the hospital for treatment. Medication allergies are serious. Let you doctor know you had an allergic reaction.

Quit using meth while you are ahead! For healthy diet: http://www.choosemyplate.gov/., exercise 30 minutes/day, drink enough water daily so your urine is mostly colorless, have safe sex, no tobacco alcohol weed or street drugs.

Apologize for repeat answer: limited on characters and posted in the wrong place. I have no judgment towards you for your choice to use meth, but I must inform you that it was certainly not a healthy choice. The rash has many potential causes and may need further work up with a doctor. Potential causes include - allergy to meth - allergy to prep/cutting chemical - blood infection - unrelated
