Any Suggestion For Red Patches On Body, Blue/purple From Knee To Leg?

I used meth iv several hours ago, I didn t get the high but my arm at injection site turned bright red and swelled, the redness crawled up my shoulder and into my chest. I got really hot. All my fingers went numb and cold. Heart palpatation s and dizziness. My entire body turned bright bright red and burned badly. Hours later the bright redness went away but I still have red patches over my body. From the knee down my legs are blue and purple and cold. Advice please!!!!!

Dermatologist 's  Response
Hi,

It may be hypersensitive reaction to meth. Consult the physician and dermatologist for the perfect diagnosis and proper treatment. I would recommend you to stop to take meth permanently. Take oral steroids in tapering doses. Take rest and avoid anxiety. Take treatment suggested by your physician.

Hope this helps.
