What Causes Rashes On Abdomen, Chest And Neck Of An Alcohol Addict?

hi. im so scared right now im hoping someone can help me. I was a iv drug user for years until I decided to get clean, I got put on a medicine called subutex (buphamorphine) to help. it didn t stop my cravings for using a needle.... I did this for a year with no problems until I ran out of places to go and started to try my legs. I woke up with a lump that was hot on the spot I had went which opened and took so long to heal... now I have a rash that a doctor called pititis rosea.. its on my stomach neck and chest. I don t know if it has anyting to do with the stupid dicisions I was making.i also have a lot of veins that look bruised in my thighs that aren t healing, I don t know if its too late to fix what ive done but since my leg ive been to scared to use a needle anymore and never plan to again. do u know anything I can do for this?

Hello,

I read carefully your query and understand your concern.

The symptoms seem to be related to pityriasis rosea.
Pityriasis rosea usually clears up in 8 to 10 weeks.
To help with the itching, you may take an over-the-counter topical medications, such as calamine lotion or zinc oxide. Antihistamines, often taken for allergies, that in some forms also treat rashes and itching.

Hope my answer was helpful.

If you have further queries feel free to contact me again.

Kind regards!
