A Rare Phenomenon of Lithium-Associated Acne Inversa: A Case Series and Literature Review.
Curēus 2023 March
Lithium use has been associated with dermatological issues, including psoriasis, folliculitis, and acneiform outbreaks.

Lithium-induced acne inversa is a less well-known adverse effect, causing significant morbidity. Acne inversa (hidradenitis suppurativa) is a chronic inflammatory illness of the skin seen in the folds of the skin and face and distinguished by the presence of painful nodules and fistulas, as well as a propensity for tissue fibrosis. We report two cases of bipolar affective disorder who received long-term lithium treatment and experienced acne inversa during treatment, which subsided once the lithium was withdrawn.
