We have a 6 yr old daughter who is dx early onset Type 2 Childhood bipolar. She is not only on Lithium but from what I understand Lithium can cause skin rashes. Our daughter has had a
"rash" or what looks more like a cold sore or impitago. She was actually dx with impitago but nothing has worked thus far. She only had one rash spot below her bottom limp and has been there for at least 5 weeks. It is not getting better, now she has another area erupting very close to the first area that this rash developed. She also takes 112.5mg of Effexor and 75mg of Chlorpromazine. Her lithium dosage is 750mg per day. We are really concerned and can use some advice. We really don't want her pretty little face scarred because she is suffering from a side effect of the lithium or maybe another med. I would welcome anyone who had any ideas?Thanks Mama Bear aka Tammy
