Q: Acne Med's & New Pregnancy
asked by: AuDacia on February 19th, 2007

I just found out i'm pregnant. I got the first positive test result yesterday, 02/18.

The last time I used my acne med's was sometime around 01/19 to 01/25. The two med's I used are facial creams. One is differin gel & the other is bencalin gel. I am also on an oral med call adoxa. I can't remember the last time I took one of my adoxa pills though. They made me sick, so I quickly stopped them. If anything, the last time I took one was in the month of november.

I'm just wondering if I should be worried about anything harmful happening to the developing fetus. Acne med's are extremely dangerous. With almost a month's time frame of being clean of all 3 med's, my child should be out of harm's way, right?

Acne Meds & Pregnancy
Congratulations on your pregnancy! I don't think the meds have harmed your baby but I wouldn't continue to use them during the pregnancy. I used naturally derived products which I also market to get rid of my acne as I don't like medications and their side effects.

I hope your pregnancy goes well.
