Jenjen77 1 Share Posted December 15, 2016 Eek. I had a horrible canker sore yesterday so I took a valtrex and lysine. I woke up this am with a pimple and my skin has been pretty clear lately. Wondering if either the lysine or valtrex could cause acne?! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
nicmic62 679 Share Posted January 13, 2017 I doubt what you took is the cause. Pimples don't pop out that quickly. Usually it takes about a week or so for the pimple to come to the surface. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Exning 38 Share Posted January 15, 2017 I doubt its the cause as well, unless maybe youre allergic to a filler they added? Lysine usually helps some for acne, its just an amino acid Quote Link to post Share on other sites
