Meth Meth and facial sores or pockmarks / scarring

[ontheupandup]

How can meth seemingly create pockmarks on skin when the user does not pick or mess with their skin while high.

Is this because of meth destroying collagen and revealing past acne scarring or the effect of toxins coming out through pores??

Yeah even if you're not picking, it can damage collagen and elastin fibers in the skin, causing a loss of elasticity and resilience. That might worsen existing scars or acne, making them look like pockmarks.
