What Causes Eczema Rashes On The Mouth And Neck?

I smoke method and occasionally I have a reaction. It starts on my eye lids like a eczema rash then on my neck and around my mouth. And it inches and burns like crazy. After using so long I ve narrowed it down to the ingredient they use to cut the drug either niacin or b12

Hello,

It seems that you have developed an allergic reaction from the substance you are using for smoking.

You can take antihistamine such as Levocetrizine 5 mg (Levocet) or Loratidine 10 mg (Lorfast) once a day for 5 days to control the reaction. If the medicine does not work in 1-2 days then you need to consult a dermatologist or physician as you might need treatment with steroids.

I would recommend quitting the addiction as they harm you physically, mentally and financially in long run. You can take help from psychiatrist or rehabilitation center if needed.

I hope this information guides you well. Thank you for choosing HealthcareMagic. Take care.

Best,
Dr. Viraj Shah
