I find this a very confusing topic!
I am presently 17 weeks pregnant and while my face is as clear as can be, my back is another story! This is normal for me though when not on the pill.
I have heard and read so many conflicting things about what can and should not be used. I have heard that Salyclyic Acid ( I know it's spelled wrong) is NOT ok to use but that benzoyl peroxide in low concentrations is ok. Benzoyl peroxide is a category c because they do not know what effects it has as they clearly can't do testing on pregnant humans.
I think that it's a very grey area and no doctor has ever told me not to use something, and none of my pregnancy books discuss this either. I am having to make my own decisions based on conflicting information which is somewhat of a gamble and very annoying! |
