What Causes Red Rash On Arms After Smoking Marijuana?
I am a 18 year old female who smoked marijuana two nights ago, and this morning awoke with a red rash on both of my arms. I am not sure if it is from the Marijuana or something else. I put hydrocortozone creme on the rasha and it has disappeared. Should I have any concerns?

Hi,
Marijuana smoke might cause allergy like skin rash,urticaria, swelling,respiratory tract inflammation, chronic bronchitis, airflow obstruction etc.
You have taken hydrocortisone to combat this allergic symptoms and it worked very well.
My advise is that if you have come to know about something allergic to your health then you must avoid exposure of it and of course marijuana smoking is more injurious to heath than cigarette smoking.
Hope you understood very well.
Thanks
