How do you deal with the acne caused by lithium? I never had to deal with acne in my life-aside from the occasional blemish every now and then. I was on Lithium years ago and it caused me acne. I was off it for a number of years and it disappeared. I've been back on it for quite some time now and it's back. All over my chin primarily; little dots of acne, there must be 60 or more little I don't know what you call them- they are not pimples, yet. But are clearly acne
I've tried the proactive system, both regular and extra strength, used hen for months and months, but it barely helps more than Noxema with salicylic acid Daily Scrub and plain astringent.
Anything other lithium users find helpful?
