Could Smoking Meth Cause Skin Problems?

I used crystal meth for like 4 days straight. I had never used it before and I snorted it and smoked it a frew times over those 4 days. After a couple days of using it my face and skin broke out everywhere. It is mostly cleared up on my face but there is a spot where I had a mole and it seemed that I got acne right there. At first it was a big white bump but you couldnt pop it. It is just sore. It is healing now but there is still a big bump under my skin where I have a mole. What should I do? How much could meth have effected me in 5 days?

Yes, meth can cause skin breakouts. When using meth the person sweats more than usual. Also there is meth in the sweat. This is irritating to the pours and causes inflammation. Some people call the bumps "speed bumps."
