It's me again Smile

I have so many questions since joining this site.. so here's another! I am currently using a prescription cream right now for my excema on my hands. Does this count as "antibiotics" and would this increase the chance of pregnancy as I'm taking bc?

Does the excema cream contain antibiotics?

I'm not sure! It's "Dermatop": Prednicarbate 0.1% cream. You can only get it by prescription though.. does that matter?

I'd phone a doctor an ask. I don't think dermatological antibiotics affect birth control.

I'm pretty sure only oral antibiotics affect birth control effectiveness.

Ya I'm not sure, I read on a site that: "Topical antibiotics kill bacteria that are on the skin. Oral antibiotics kill bacteria in the skin pores"
So that might not affect bc? I'll keep reading!
