Morgellon's disease due to methamphetamine use: a case report

Abstract

Methamphetamine (METH) is a psychostimulant drug that has become widely used worldwide in recent years. Various serious side effects have been reported in the literature depending on its use. In this case report, a 35-year-old male patient who applied to the dermatology outpatient clinic with skin lesions and was diagnosed with Morgellon's disease due to methamphetamine use in the follow-up is presented in the light of the literature. We emphasize that clinicians should be more vigilant about the use of METH and its side effects and that more research is needed on the subject.
