ADDERALL ABUSE: how to get rid of rash

I'm 15, about 145lbs and 4ft 11.
about a week ago my friend gave me her prescription pills. Adderall XR 20mg. the day she gave them to me i took three. which is 60mg. i started taking that amount every day and its been 1 week, sometimes id take 80mg. well i didnt consider id have a bad reaction to them so when i broke out with acne and then a rash around my mouth i thought it was due just to dry skin. i was wrong. i guess i had an allergic reaction i started them on a wednesday and thursday is when i broke out. my face is the only place that has gotten bad ive been using tea tree oil and its been healing all the acne and even some scarring but the rash is there. its like a lightish red patch. its just dry. ive been putting aveno on it not much has changed. anyways i can't call 911 or talk to my parents so PLEASE HELP. i can breathe fine, feel fine. i immediately stop stop taking them once i found out i mean it all made sense, i have really good skin for my age i rarely break out. and it was a bad. so anyways i need some advice what should i do to get rid of the rash. i'm flushing out the adderall with a lot of water and doing a master cleanse. so how do i get rid of the rash??!?! without going to a doctor or talking to my parents. i did bring in an adult and shes trying to help as much as she can but doesnt know much about adderall abuse so ya.

The acne and rash are not from an adderall allergy.  Although, some peoples skin may get more oily when taking adderall (thus causing increased acne).

She's obviously abusing adderall.  People who abuse adderall make those of us who legitimately need it look bad.  It also makes parents hesitant to put their kids on it (even though they could benefit greatly from it).

I hate it when kids come on here and ask silly questions.  It's disrespectful to the entire ADHD community.

   I think that there is a better chance that the tea tree oil is causing the skin reaction then the Adderall.
  However, unless you have ADHD, you are abusing the adderall.  It is addicting and will cause you many more problems then the rash that you got.
