Has anyone ever heard of ne..

My husband has had a rash on his legs since November. One Doctor said it was scabies so that's what he was treated for. With no results. He still has the sores on his legs and is still itchy and scratching all the time. He finally went to a skin specialist today and was told it was nerve damage due to smoking, he smokes weed daily and cigarettes and was told to quit. (hooray) I've never heard of smoking causeing nerve damage and can't find much when I google it either. Anyone ever experience this personally or know anyone who has gone through the same thing? The doctor didn't give him a name for this condition which makes it harded for me to look up. I know smoking can clog your arteries etc but never heard of this before. Any answers will be much appreciated.

There is a correlation! All tissues of the body are dependent on the delivery of oxygen and nutrients dissolved in the blood that circulates within the blood vessels. Nerves are included. Therefore, any factor that affects adequate circulation of blood to deliver the substances to keep the tissues healthy will compromise the said tissue causing it to get diseased, damaged or die.

Cigarettes occlude blood vessels and will affect circulation of blood to the areas concerned.

Scare ur husband or disease like lung cancer, stroke and heart attack will scare him in the near future
