Why is my daughter picking at her face?

I am pretty sure that my daughter is addicted to something. All of the sudden, she is spending hours in the bathroom. She is not going to work and she is always asking me for money. Also, she is picking her face constantly. I can see all of the sores on her face and I am extremely concerned that she is doing drugs
I just don't know what drug she could be doing... Any ideas?
Thanks

Some type of amphetamine might be the cause. Could even be meth. Meth is shown to cause something called meth mites. Meth mites aren't actual mites it's a hallucination that feels very real to the user.

Yeah, sorry Lorena. It sounds like your daughter's doing amphetamines to me too. Other symptoms that you could watch for in that case would be appetite and/or weight loss, changes in her behavior like aggressiveness, hallucinations, anxiety and sexual promiscuity. She may neglect personal hygiene and basic obligations and responsibilities become less of a priority than the abuse of the drug. Also, the damage done to the body by the persistent abuse of amphetamines can result in symptoms like, seizures, malnutrition, paranoia, muscle deterioration and cardiovascular symptoms. I hope you and your daughter both get the help you need. Good luck.
