"breakouts"??

I keep forgetting to ask this of all of you...when I was using (vic's) heavily, I used to breakout. But not like real acne, but close enough to look like pimples. I only remembered this question as I seen a meth addict yesterday on t.v. and you know how they get those crystal sores all over and pick at them? Kind of the same idea, only not sores more like acne. Now mind you, this was only if I was using heavily, 6 to 10 a day. Heavy use for me...
Thanks for your feedback!

Newgirl-
I've been using Vic for 4-5 years and I get sores when my use is high. It's hard to balance using vs. pretty skin though. Birth control helps me. Sounds weird but it does-it all but eliminates those sores and the urge to "pick" completely.

Thanks...tracee..i'm trying..i think it's getting burried here. i might post it on the other side.
Thats what i thought naughty...too much, my system was yelling at me.
Towards the end of my abuse, my eyes watered terriable and i broke out. I had been using for years and years 10 to 15 years about 5 to 6 hydros a day, then more and more, never had any breakouts or watery eyes. Then at the end, it was 8 to 10 a day...then watery eyes and breakouts...guess that answers it.
Thanks again,
Newgirl

That's an allergic reaction, or too much.  I had the same thing when I took just 2 pills over what was prescribed to me.  I hated it.  I was scratching my arms sometimes till they bled.......yuck.
