What Causes Rashes On The Arms After Taking A Methamphetamine Shot?

Hello, my question is about my husband. He developed a skin rash shortly after shootings up meth.the rash started around his biceps on botharms at the same time and has spread the remainder of his arms and also on his arm pits. They resemble hives and are very itchy. The itch gets worse when he gets hot like ezema does. It also has spread own his chest, stomach, and penis lastly. We had sex the day he broke out and it ha just started to appear on the penis at the time. Honestly our sexual intercourse was anal..... His penis is now getting infected I believe, due to it rubbing against his cloths during work. He works outside in the heat and sweats alot. An after thought was the fact that we and anal sex, so I wasn t sure if that was a variable to to the skin condition on his penis. My husband also has a severe case of athelets foot. What is this rash all over his body?

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

This rash all over his body is an allergic reaction to Methamphetamine. Give him a Cetirizine or Benadryl to relieve itching. Go to ER for Adrenaline and Prednisone shots.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
