Psychiatrist 's  Response
Hi there ~

I understand your concerns. It is not unusual to have these breakouts of acneform lesions when you are using this medication. I hope you go off of methamphetamine to help reduce these medical side effects. Consulting a qualified medical person, i.e. a doctor or a psychiatrist would be most appropriate for recommendations regarding treatment.

I hope this helps.

Take care and have a lovely day!
