after 50 or so days off methadone, has anyone experienced rough or breaking out skin?

I was on 95mg of methadone for a year and a half.  Attended a treatment facility January 7th 2011. Did not honestly have a withdrawal. Had the chills on the first day but that's it.  Now, due to chemical dependency education, I realize that I am in the stage of "the Wall".  Anyway, my question is if anyone near or around my recovery time has experienced rough or breaking out skin?  Its not on the face, but more around the rear of the neck and scalp.  I am just wondering if this is because of the methadone getting out of my system or if its just me.  Any help would be much appreciated.  Thanks.

I never usually have acne and it seems like since I stopped taking the pills I all of a sudden can't get rid of it and it is driving me crazy.

I am 22 days clean and was starting to wonder the same thing. The back of my neck in my hair line has started breaking out in the past 2 days. I also am getting lots of acne on my face, I mean I have always had some acne but not like this.

I'am also clean 56 days from Methadone and I was wondering the same thing I have a patch on my face that is red  and I have had it for awhile now wondering when it was going to go away. I was told methadones out of your system withing a couple days so I don't know if it is from that or what.

when you break out like that it is generally because your body is getting out the crap in your system, so it shouldn't last long, like even when a person diets, they break out its getting all the toxins outa your blood and body, try a good acne wash if it is really bothering you and a sensitive scalp shampoo and just keep it clean so it dosnt get infected
