Could Marijuana Cause Itching Red Spots All Over The Body?
Hi, I have red spots that are scattered on my body. Not a lot of them, but they are sometimes itchy, although not open sores or anything of that sort. I want to say its kind of similar to a bed bug bite just not as drastic. I recently was exposed to marijuanna and was wondering could that be the cause of my itchy red spots..? Are there allergic reactions to pot? although this isnt super severe, its annoying and bad for photoshoots and appearance and can be bothersome when itchy? Please help. JM

The symptoms you had mentioned are mostly suggestive of some fungal infection or allergic dermatitis. For treatment you can take some antibiotic preferably cefadroxyl or doxycycline after an expert opinion along with avil or cetrizine for severe itching. You can take fluconazole 150mg once daily for at-least 5 days or use candid-b powder or betnovate-c cream for local application.
