Abstract
Methamphetamine (METH) is a psychostimulant substance, the use of which has recently become widespread worldwide. Various serious side effects have been reported in the literature due to use. In this case report, we present 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 during his follow-up. In this case report, we emphasize the need for more research on the side effects of METH use.
