Did your doctor say to stop using topical acne products?

Question

Answer

Only things with retin-a

Answer

I called my detmatologist and he switched me to erythromycin topical gel 2%. Doesn't seem to work quite as well as the Aczone I was on before pregnancy but it does help and is safe to use while pregnant.

Answer

My dermatologist told me stop all meds/creams a month before TTC. He did give two other creams (one for morning and one for night), which are safe to use while pregnant. It's just not as effective.

Answer

Yeh I was told to stop and given a really low dosage in steroids etc type cream but it was so low it did F all

Answer

My doctor didn't tell me until I asked. I still use salicylic acid occasionally when I have a bad breakout but made sure not to use it in the first trimester.

Answer

No, but I researched before getting my bfp and decided to stop on my own. There's conflicting info on safety and I used to use both salicylic acid and benzoyl peroxide daily.
