Hi..
Thanks for the query..

Well, as you have rashes after intake of meth in different ways and along with it bruising and soreness at the injection site then it is a clear indication that you are allergic to Meth and should stop taking it at once to avoid the reaction..

It is also necessary for you to stop meth intake as it can cause exaggeration of the allergy symptoms on progressive intakes..

If you are addicted to the drug you should immediately consult an Addiction Medicine Specialist or a Rehabilitation centre and get evaluated so that appropriate management protocol can be initiated that can include medication, counselling and meditation..

Hope this helps..

Regards.
