Every time, and I notice it's worse with heroin, I feel like my pores are really open the next day and my skin has almost a more rubbery texture and kinda burns a small amount, it's more sensative.

I'm not sure if this is caused by itching my face like crazy (and using a towel to rub against it back and forth to relieve the itches), + I sweat like a pig on opiates and am constantly wiping the sweat off my face so maybe it's a kind of sweat rash? and maybe dehyrdration plays a factor?

I also start to get a bit of redness around my eyes, on my forehead and the top of my cheeks. I'm thinking this may be again do to all of the above, and histamine reaction, but my skin on my face specifically just feels like complete shit the day after.

Anyone else deal with this side effect? Found any solutions?

This is after high doses of course, chasing the nod.

Probably from scratching your face.
 
Suboxone usually makes me break out for some reason and somehow changes the skin texture of my face. Though, nothing with any other opiates.
