SOS! Advice needed: Lithium & acne

so IANAD but I think lithium causes inflammation in the body and that’s what causes some people to break out while taking it. unfortunately medication induced acne is kind of hard to deal with so I would actually go see a dermatologist for help. tretinoin will likely help you. I also wonder if a chemical exfoliant like BHA or AHA would help as well. I wouldn’t use any physical exfoliants in your case but maybe if you can slough off some of the dead skin and bacteria (from the pimples), it will help them heal and stop reappearing. sorry I can’t be of much help. 💕
