What Do Rashes On The Arms Indicate?
My boyfriend breaks out with a little patch of hives or some sort of rash immediately after shooting up meth.It only happens once in a while but when it does the rash (hives) appears in the same spot of his arm everytime. He said it isn t really painful or itchy just feels hot for a few mins and thats it. Id say his arm seems to clear up though usually within a couple hours after injecting and it looks as though nothing happened. Just curious as to what might be causing this kind of reaction.

Hello. You might be having some allergic rashes. Allergy can develop due to several reasons- some foods like egg, fish, pollen grains, animal hair, nylon, terylene clothes. Just try to find out what you are allergic to & avoid it. Try home remedies. Apply coconut oil daily three times a day for one week. If you are not better consult a dermatologist. It can be fungal infection or eczema. with regards- Dr Sanjay Kini
