I am 6 weeks pregnant and my acne is getting really bad since I can not use any of my acne medications now?
Wednesday, September 5th, 2007nono1 asked:
My derm had me stop everything but Erythromycin topical gel about 2 months before conceiving. I am getting cystic acne. Does anyone know if I can use salicylic acid or sulfur based products while pregnant. My derm told me not to use benzoyl per oxide or retinols. She okyed glycolic acid though. I tried using the DDF glycolic cleaser and toner and that really dried me out. Also, is it ok to use hair bleaching cream to lighten the facial hair. I used to use Jolen, but I am afraid to use it now.
Thanks in advance for answering my long question.
