Psychiatrist 's  Response
HI
Thanks for using healthcare magic

Meth could cause some skin side effects like white patches, redness, headache, burning sensation etc. These all are temporary side effects of meth. In that case, you have to stop meth and in few days, all these side effects will resolve. If these side effects would stay for long, then you can consult a psychiatrist for further management. In case, you need further help, you can ask.
