Does Smoking Marijuana Lead To Erythema Multiforme?

i have a case of erythema multiforme presently, been one week. i haven't developed any new sores in 3-4 days and the herpes simplex (the trigger) has gone with use of anti-viral drugs and lysine. i am curious as to whether there are any established problems with smoking marijuana with this illness at this stage.

Hello, Thank you for consulting with HCM.

it can not be precipitated due to marijuana , but definitely the disease aggravates due to it, so better to discontinue it.
Hope it will help you.
