The first question is going to be what OS you use.


LyX does not handle this itself. Rather, it is using some other backend 
spellchecker, like Hunspell (also used by Chrome, Firefox, LibreOffice, 
etc). If you look under Tools> Preferences> Language Settings> 
Spellchecker, you can find out what spell checker is being used. Then 
try searching the web for info on where the personal dictionary is stored.
