Meth

Question: Do i have "meth mites?"?

I started meth a few months ago, and a week and a half ago I started getting these bumps that look like mosquito bites but ALL OVER my body. I dont understand how they get under my clothing if this is a bug bite! My cat has fleas, but the fleas have never attacked me so much before. Its all over my hands, feet, my wrists, my ankles, some on my stomache, and even on my "lower half ". The reason I dont think its meth mites is because I dont feel like bugs are crawling in my skin or even on me, its the bumps that itch. They have a little dot in the middle that looks like a masquito bite. It itches so bad, and I keep itching them til they bleed and scab. I know I should quit, and I truly want to. I've started to go to N.A meetings to seek help. If you might know what this could be please let me know. Thanky ou

Good for you about going to the meetings - I hope you get clean soon. Have you tried a cortisone cream on the bites to see if that stops the itching? Also you could try taking a bendryl.

You should visit a doctor/ dermatologist and talk to them about the skin problem and explain what's going on. They can give you special products to help clear/ soothe it.
