What Causes Itchy Rashes All Over The Body?

I know someone with a rash all over him. He says it s called mophine fever or morphine itch.He also said it is from being on morphine or methadone getting used to taking it and just stop. His body broke out in a rash because it doesn t know what to do without it. Is that possible??

General & Family Physician 's  Response
Hello,

I have never heard or seen something like that. Morphine or methadone are not known to give withdrawal rash. The only option about a rash while on morphine is an allergic reaction to it that gets better when you stop it.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
