Can Meth Usage Cause Outbreaks On Face?

My niece went to the doctor for an outbreak on her face. They told her it was staph infection. She didn't tell them she is a meth user. Her son, 3 years old died last year from no know cause. He had numerous outbreaks of staph since he was born, but she never got any breakouts from him. My question is: Do you think she really has staph or meth outbreaks from the toxins, or meth and staph outbreaks?

Hello. Meth doesn't cause staph outbreaks so I'm certain it's staph. Meth actually doesn't cause any skin outbreaks
