Is Meth Causing Severe Itchy Body Rash?

Im pretty sure someone was either using meth in my house or making it, or perhaps both. I have started getting a terrible rash on my arms, stomach, and even my neck and its very itchy and leaves sores from my constant scratching, i thought maybe i was allergic to something but i have changed everything i use, is it possible that meth could cause that even though i have never smoked it?

Hi,

It may not be due to meth. It maybe due to allergic response any other potential allergens. As of now you can take antihistamines like Pheneramine for symptomatic relief. If symptoms persist, better to consult a dermatologist and get evaluated.
