Can you get a skin rash or welts from using crystal meth?

Yes from what I've heard on TV documentaries. The users are covered in sores because of scratching at the crawly feeling the drug gives them. It's a poison to your body and you should get help to quit.|||Yes, it wreaks havoc on the skin. Cysts and rashes are common, which are aggravated because when a tweeker finds something like that, they're more inclined to "poke" at it, making the skin worse.





If you get high and find this is a problem, try to remember to wash your hands both before and after touching any skin lesions.|||That's what I hear. I clean and repair houses for a living and I cleaned one that was a meth lab, and now I've been getting rashes and welts.|||I wouldn't doubt it. A rash would be the least of my worries though!!

It causes your skin to become very oily and you break out. Most meth users have a bad habit of picking at their skin, causing the breakouts to get worse and causing breakouts to turn into large open sores on the skin. Rashes could be because of an allergic reaction or if you are injecting meth.
