Hello,
* As per my clinical experience, meth sore presentation varies depending upon the amount of meth consumed, host immune response and other corelative factors.
* General measures to look for are
- varying size of few mm to dime size
- localised wheel or raise,
- varying degree of border irregularity
- uniform eruptions
- surrounding scratch marks if there is associated itching
- needle track marks in some instances.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
