It does sound like drugs.  Can't you get him to a better school?  Do something about the bullying : see the headmaster and if possible get a big man to kick some @rse.

ok is it hyperpigmentation(darkening) or hypopigmentation(whitening) you havent mentioned?? i presume it to be hyper cos u very well know bout MELATONIN ...yes that is the pigment present in skin... the pattern involving nose then spreading to cheeks is rather disturbing specially if you r a female and i recommend that u show to a good dermatologist or medicine doctor it might be SLE but u better confirm first before gettin trippy.... HQ-5 lotion by Debut Pharmaceuticals helps but u must first show to a dermatologist....

Yes, I have had numerous family members addicted to these drugs.  They are prescription pain killers that are highly addictive.  My cousin was addicted to them for about 2 years, and they almost destroyed her life.  She finally addmited to having a problem and admitted herself into a rehab.  She was there for 6 weeks.  They put her through detox and weaned her off the drugs.  She had the same withdrawl symptoms of a heroin addict.  The doctors first prescribed them to her when she had problems with her back and she was in a lot of pain.  They seemed to help but only for a little while and she then needed more and more of the painkillers to work.  In the end she was taking about 15-20 a day.  I say that you and your family try to do an intervention on your brother.  It could mean his life.  Best wishes to you and I pray that your brother finds a solution to his problem.

there are really good chances of your friend staying clean with the right treatment and help. I think this is the wrong place because you have stupid people saying there is no chance, but then really nice people like there have been being supportive which is exactly what ure friend needs at this time, if people dont believe him/her why should he believe in himself? People seem to forget that everyone make mistakes in life and is a learning process. Im currently doing a degree in mental health and there are so many things to help your friend, sadly addicts only seem to realise when they hit rock bottom and lose everything, but that could be a good thing as they learn to pick themselves up again, please dont pay anyattention to people being narrow minded its because they dont understand addiction or are ignorant, he has a good friend by the sounds of it and that what they need, SUPPORT so the best thing is to go to the GP and see if they can get involved in some sort of therapy or interest. One of my favourites is art therapy and it creates so much self awareness and a new focus on life ! something different and rewarding with lots of love and support from loved ones like friends and family i hope ive been some help and good luck to him everyone deserves a second chance !

Your friend is suffering from a condition called hyperhydrosis.I used to have it.It isn't serious and can be treated.It basically is an overactive sweat gland.Tell your friend to go to her doctor and get a prescription ointment.Her problem will go away in two to three days.I hope this does the trick.

Your friend's heart is reacting to her unhealthy lifestyle.\nCrack(like Meth) makes your heart race/pound and beat at an faster rate than is normal. It changes your biochemistry in your brain and body and causes paranoia which also adds to the heart taking a beating because now you're scared AND high!\n Likely your friend has been smoking for a while and her body is starting to deteriorate. If she's smoking crack, she's probably smoking cigarettes too and not taking care of her nutrition or any other part of her body. And she's not young anymore.\n   If she continues to smoke your friend will probably die or end up in an instituation.  Only 1 out of 10 people on crack ever successful get off of it. Its an extremely psychological and physically addictive drug and she's going to need to really really want to stay off to do it. And it means changing her entire lifestyle and giving up all her crack buddies/connects.  \n   You can be a friend, but don't be an enabler. You've got your own issues to deal with and toxic people will bring you down. If she continues using, I'd  be rethinking my friendship and how much I want to be involved while she's dirty.

Please, don't put her health in the hands of an amateur forum. Respect her mind and body. She must consult her doctor or a dermatologist. (I am a physician myself and this is the best advice I can possibly give you.)

Yeah. My sister used to do something similar. She eventually became so strung out that she started hallucinating. Your sister may not be doing it as much as my sister did, but surely it is not healthy. Your sister's mood swings are probably due to chemical imbalance in her brain. Her body is probably trying to balance itself out but your sister keeps doing the drugs only messing up her chemical compounds even further. Meth is a vile drug. Maybe you should try to get her help. Good luck.

I suspect HE isn't MUCH YOUR FRIEND if you disclose that publically,,,NOR SHOULD HE consider you as such.\n\n   If he has an anomoly, he should seek help from a medical professional, and I have to assume he didn't ask you to ask us, here, in this public forum.\n\n  To all you who answer negatively,,, GROW THE H UP, Yikes\n\nRev.

I'd call it more of a compulsion then an addiction but yes. Many people including myself have this problem. It does give you a sorta pleasurable release. For me it isn't just my face but anywhere and it can be a pimple or just a scab. Can't help myself I just pick it. Sounds gross I know... lol. It doesn't have to be on me either. Whenever I see someone with a ripe pimple it is all I can do not to reach out and pop it for them. I used to BEG my boyfriend to let me pop his pimples and blackheads. He HATED it but because he knew how much I loved doing it he would let me... lol.

I'm not a dermatologist... that's really who you should consult... but I can tell you that there is a condition called vitiligo that can cause light patches of skin on people of all colors (not just black people.)   Other things that can cause skin pigmentation changes are lupus (REQUIRES medical attention - type Lupus in your search bar and all kinds of info will come up)  and melasma (non-lethal, I have it, no big deal) but I think both of those usually create dark splotches on the face rather than light spots.  Age & medications could have something to do with it too... if you can't afford to see a doctor, I would ask a pharmacist - they might recognize it right off and direct you to something over the counter.  Good luck!

they are testing for certain drugs.  it sounds as if your son may have watered it down.  you may not know everything that he is doing.  i know my parents didn't.  best thing is to let it go.  your son may not be telling the whole truth in this situation, open your mind up to that.

Oh my gosh, you mean there are others? Are you a pretty pale person like me? I get it a lot. I can get it from really hot (heat hot, not spicy hot) foods too - like soup.  I get it from wine sometimes too. Everyone asks me why my nose turns red.  The dermatologist just said it was blood vessels and due to my skin being so light, it looks a lot more prominent. I find that if I keep very well hydrated, it is a little less extreme.  So glad to know someone else has that problem too!

He needs to take the meds prescribed for him.  The side effects he read only happened to a handful of people, and there are millions taking Seroquel.  I have taken it for 3 years, and I have not had problems.  Really, it is one of the better meds.  If he can tolerate pills and weed, I think he can handle a prescription.  If he is concerned about his health he will leave the street drugs alone and take the prescription meds.  He's making excuses.

He sounds like he may be battling depression.  It is a very real disease, but quite treatable.  Talk to him and tell him what you are seeing and suggest he get help.  If he is younger, under adult age, talk to your parents, or his parents, or a teacher, with your concerns to see if someone can help you get him to help himself.  If he is thinking thoughts of hurting himself, then this is all the more urgent.  If you really care about your friend, you will take action on this.  Even if he ends up not liking you for it, at least for awhile, you can be happy in the fact that you may save his life.\n\nGood luck
