What Causes Occasional Boil While Smoking Meth?

My son has an occasional boil. He said one was a spider bite and one was a ingrown hair. He does meth. I don t believe him. They are not on his face and he is not a picker. Can they be caused by meth use. How can I know what they are. Even the doctor thought it was a spider bite or staff.

Hello,

I think this can be related to any infection such folliculitis or an ingrown hair. The meth doesn't cause a boil usually.

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

Take care
