Could Pain In Fingers Be Due To Usage Of Meth?
I just recently started to use meth and my fingers hurt really bad and i couldn't figure out why. A little later I was looking at my fingers and i thought i was getting a pimple on my finger so i picked at it with tweezers, everytime i would pull one out, another would come out. why is this happening?

Hi,
Sores in different parts of the body are common in meth users. This happens because chemicals produced in the metabolism of of meth are excreted by the skin. Since these chemicals are very irritating to the skin, the body reacts by forming sores. Do not pick at them. Wait for this to resolve by itself. Avoid using meth again. It is not worth the toll it takes on your body.
Best wishes.
