So caring and a loving thing to do. Bless you @SativaKid 
Have you tried Mango butter instead of coconut oil. Coconut oil can be drying and leave a residue on the skin. Also good oils for the skin, lavender, frankincense, rosemary and sandlewood.

Is meth face from scratching or is it an effect if the chemicals in the meth? I don’t mean to be insensitive, it’s just something I don’t know about.
This past year I grew a bunch of calendula and my herbalist friend and I made a calendula/CBD infused balm with MCT oil with beeswax as an emulsifier. It truly works wonders on my dry skin (my elbows get scaled - tmi, I know but…), cuts. I gave some to my neighbor for her face (she has Lupis), and she also uses it on her kids rashes - all to great effect.
Anyway, what you’re doing is truly awesome and inspiring. Thank you

It’s both, it’s scratching and burns and then also immunosuppression and malnutrition and poor hygiene, there are theories about the sores being more prevalent among users of contaminated methamphetamine but I haven’t personally seen a study proving that, though I believe it based on firsthand observation of the bath salts epidemic in Brooklyn when there were some killer batches out that were causing necrosis.
“ What Are Meth Sores?
Meth sores are open wounds that occur on the skin of people who regularly use meth. These open sores appear differently depending on their cause, whether due to picking or a burn from the hot pipe used to smoke meth. They can look like mosquito bites, acne breakouts, pus-filled sores, and burns on or around the lips.
What Causes Meth Sores?
According to The Meth Project, meth sores occur due to:
A worsening immune system – Meth can weaken one’s immune system by suppressing white blood cells that fend off germs, viruses, and bacteria. Fewer white blood cells mean a weaker immune system and a higher risk of skin infections.
Declining personal hygiene – People on meth also are less motivated to maintain personal hygiene routines, which increases acne breakouts, skin dryness, and infection. This can be a common sign of drug abuse in general.
Reduced blood flow to the skin – Meth restricts blood flow, which, in combination with other factors, such as worsening hygiene and toxins that are released through pores, can result in acne breakouts.
Meth that’s released in sweat – Meth is water-soluble, which means it can be sweated out through one’s pores. This can cause skin irritation and sores on the face that appear red and bumpy like acne.
Burns from paraphernalia – Meth sores can form as a result of how the drug is used, such as burns on or around the mouth from a hot pipe.
Excessive picking from meth mites or meth bugs – Meth psychosis is a possible side effect of meth usage. Meth psychosis is a mental disorder that affects a person’s thoughts and emotions. It can lead to meth hallucinations, where the user can feel and sometimes see “meth bugs” or “meth mites” crawling on or underneath the skin. This can lead to scratching, which can both form new sores on otherwise clear skin or open existing sores which can lead to infection.
Infections – As stated above, infections can occur from a variety of meth-related causes, including excessive scratching and a weakened immune system.”

It’s the toxins from the drugs and hallucinations called meth bugs. The CBD appears to calm both. As well the Coconut Oil being good for the skin. And @Dirt_Wizard gave the detailed explanation in a perfect way.
