Question : I tried crystal meth for the first time and I apparently spent the whole night destroying my perfect complextion. My face has sores and scabs and I bought witch XXXXXXX astringent but I'm very worried about permanent scaring. I'm 34 and up to this point I have had near perfect skin but very sensitive. Is it possible that meth came out my pores and caused the sores? I also picked at them to make it 100 times worse. Guess my question is what can I do to help heal this extreme error in judgement? Please don't judge I am not a recreational drug user but suffer from major fatigue from endometriosis and made a very bad decisions. I am also menopausal don't know if that makes a difference. Please help!
