Brief Answer:
Can be related to cocaine use.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
Regular cocaine use can cause an inflammation in the joints causing pain and feeling of expansion. It also causes hallucinations. The bumps in the skull can be evaluated after an MRI scan and FNAC to detect the type of bumps. It is better to stop taking cocaine gradually to revert back these changes. The symptoms that you are having can be related to allergy also and need a detailed evaluation.
I hope this answers your query.
