White/pale lips

Hello,

Can someone tell me if they ever noticed a "pale", white color of lips (i mean it's not red-ish or pink like normal it's more like "lips covered in powder") on their drug addict? And if yes what drug causes that?

Thank you

Well, I don't know that anyone can really answer that. Maybe it's because the addicted person is severely dehydrated? I found a research paper on different dermatologic complications for various abused substances. If you know what your addicted loved one is using, perhaps it might help?

I'm sure others will be along to share their experiences!

Yes, I believe it's meth. But there are also medications out there that can cause this.

Circulation problems in other words lack of blood supply. Many drugs can shunt blood away from superficial areas. Pale lips can be symptoms of anemia or iron deficiency. It can also indicate heart and lung disorders as well as thyroid problems. See a physician.
