Arimidex and acne?
Has anyone experienced a full face full of acne for a prolonged period after starting Arimidex? It is my friend who had breast cancer and she is blind and wants to write for her. She also has Lupus but she has seen a dermatologist and rheumatologist and they dismiss it as acne. She knows she is out of remission with discoid lupus. But they assured her the 'acne" is not lupus breakout. Since this drug causes a lot of hormonal changes she wondering if it is a sign of anything else going on or a side effect of Armidex?
thanks for any help you can give.

One additional thought: Does your friend by any chance take an iodine supplement or consume a lot of kelp? This can cause rashes.

However, since hormones are effected by Arimidex, it seems reasonable that acne might occur.
