Question about meth coming out of skin pores?
I've
heard that meth comes out of your pores. Is that true?
I've been told that the pimples that you get when you smoke meth
is actually meth coming out of your pores and if you pop that or
pick at it, it'll become permanently scarred.
Is any of that true?

That's what my husband said to me too. I do know that when you
are on Meth, most people get this odor about them. I don't know
if it is the "Meth" smell or not, but it doesn't smell good. I
have met many a people that have this same kind of odor. I am
sure that I did too, when I was getting high, but I never
noticed it about myself and no one ever told me. I do know that
I had to tell my husband to go take a shower a few times.

I
never broke out. I guess I was one of the lucky ones. An
ex-friend of mine on the other hand. Her face, arms,
shoulders...well it is just gross. I reher being in the
bathroom for HOURS, picking at her face, etc. I don't know if it
is permanent or not, I do know the last time I saw her, she
still had them.
Hope this helps.

Re: Question about meth coming out of skin pores?
My
friend told me his bothers would have crystal or glass like
stuff coming out of his sores when he'd pick.
Maybe an ingredient used in some forms of manufacturing
crystallize when they hit air? I've seen this with some
haircolor/stains.

Re: Question about meth coming out of skin pores?
don't people pick cuz they're high, just to pick? Of course
you'll have severe scrring if you pick your skin off enough. Not
because of anything coming out of your pores.

Re: Question about meth coming out of skin pores?
My
two cents,
I personally had seen first hand a meth sores.
I saw my sister's arms, legs, and face covered in those deep
sores.
It was from her picking at her skin, and from the poison of meth
coming out of her skin.
On the other hand, my hubby used meth for at least nine months
before he started to get sores, so I think the sores are not BS,
and that they DO happen and they ARE a result of meth seeping
through the pores.
In some cases though, the sores appear faster on the body
because the tweaker is picking at themselves.
As far as pieces of glass and such coming OUT of the sores, I
personally never heard of that.

Re: Question about meth coming out of skin pores?
Sfj is really right about this one.
The biggest reason I've observed tweekers having unhealthy skin
is that they don't sleep.
You can do an experiement. Sleep very little for a week, goto
bed late and set your alarm for early every morning. By the end
of the week more than likely your skin will be broken out.
When I used to use.. if my skin got bad... I went to sleep...
and it was almost always looking good again by the time I woke
up. Picking at it is a whole different matter and is the reason
tweekers get the deep bad sores. This is caused because they
won't leave them (their acne) alone and because they don't sleep
their body doesn't have time to naturally heal itself so not
only do the sores get worse as they are more and more damaged by
the picking but they don't heal at all because the person isn't
sleeping. They pick because of OCD like behavior commonly called
tweeking.. not because the meth is coming out of their pores.
Further... meth will never come out of the human body as a
crystal. It's extrremely water soluble.

Re: Question about meth coming out of skin pores?
it's
urban legend...
...both.
it's scared sweat coming out of your pours...from the
adrendeline...so it stinks.
I've had crystals in sores before, but it was from dropping the
pipe, and spilling the molten hot chemical on my skin....
....it hits wet.....the re crystalizes.
this shyts getting midevil!
(joke).......if you pick at your face it keeps the gnomes in
blue from taking your kids!

Re: Question about meth coming out of skin pores?
Meth
"crystals" don't come out through your pores...
Meth sores are caused by a lack of hygiene, excess oil
production, bad diet and lack of sleep. Meth dehydrates the body
causing it to pull all of the fluids from the skin, causing the
skin to look a dull/greyish color. It also causes the skin to
shrivel. Meth can causes halluccinations in some users which
sometimes causes them to "think there are "bugs" under their
skin, which they will then pick at (fixate on) until they're
"out". This results in open sores on the surface of the skin
which take longer to heal as the body is malnourished,
dehydrated and not allowed the time to recover during sleep. A
general lack of personal hygiene is also attributable to the
problem.

Re: Question about meth coming out of skin pores?
The
meth users, that I have known have never really had bad skin
from picking. I can only recall one person that picked.
I do know that a user has an odor to their breath and their
sweat. My ex was a very clean person, but meth caused him to
sweat alot, and it had "an odor."
If I knew now what I should have known then- just kissing him, I
could tell that he was using. He had a funny taste to him.
I think what Spase said about them getting sleep has something
to it too. And I suppose whether they shower...
It probably depends on alot of things- like what the meth is
made out of, how much you do, whether you eat and sleep...

Re: Question about meth coming out of skin pores?
AND.....
I have a possibly permanent case of folliculitis, aka infected
hair follicles. It's all over my body, and the itching is so
friggin severe, I scratch in my sleep. I leave bruises. I've
NEVER "picked". Just scratched cuz it itched so dang bad.
It started when I was on meth. And sadly, mine never went away.
I always used to have GREAT skin. Now it sucks azz.
My doctor explained that it probably started as one little
follicle, behind my knee, I think, that got clogged and grew
some bacteria. Probably from sweating and the increased body
temp - that's where these usually show up, in places that are
warm and sweaty (oooh...LOL).
I scratched, and it spread, the bacteria got under my nails,
spread more...no "tweaking & picking", just scratching, until my
whole body itched like I had bugs or something.
My doctor also said that meth affects your immune system in a
BIG BAD way, so my body's resistence to even weak bacteria was
down a lot. He mentioned something about meth changing the
chemical or molecular make-up of my skin...but I didn't get what
he was saying.
To sum that up, I have to take heavy-duty anti-inflammatories
and use very strong anti-itch cream, probably for life, if I
want to be free of the itching and the scarring from these
little pimple-like things. Major bummer.
Sorry if that was long...I just rehow frustrating it was
to not know what the hell was going on.
It wasn't the meth that did it directly, but I would
probably never have had this big of a problem if I was not on
meth.

Re: Question about meth coming out of skin pores?
I
used to always think that if you didn't crush it up COMPLETELY(I
snorted) that I would get speed bumps... so I was always very
sure to grind it down to a fine powder with no shards before I
snorted it. I never had speed bumps even when I'd stay up 4
days... Are you all sure that grinding it to a fine powder was
not part of the reason I didn't get speed bumps? I'm not going
to use either way, but now you've got mre really curious.
