Can methamphetamine cause use cause bruising and dry skin lesions from picking and scrathing neck and chest area? what also causes a person to have slow healing vertical scabs on their neck?

Meth is a stimulant and causes skin reactions from frequent sweating and dried leathery changes can occur. Your picking and scratching of your skin, which is not uncommon in frequent meth use, causes excoriations and scabbing.

Meth can cause all these symptoms and worse. Quit using it while you are ahead.
