Suggest Treatment For After-effects Of Taking Meth

hi. I have been clean from using meth for a little over a year now. Some of the things that happened to my body while I was using has me wondering about any long term effects. One of the ways I was using was by ingesting it. The skin on my fingertips started to peel off, and shortly after I quit also on the bottoms of my feet. I also had ulcers in my mouth.

Hi,

The after effects that you have described are common and occur due to excretion of the metabolites of meth through the skin. However, I do not expect these to have any long term effects on your body. Please do not worry and remain abstinent.

Best wishes.
