Acne in pregnancy

2026-07-04 21:34:51
Hi, I am 9 months pregnant. One month back, due to severe acne, I met a dermatologist. They prescribed Azithromycin, Tivenca gel, and Bellisa soap. I did not take Azithromycin. I used Tivenca gel for 1 month 10 days. Will this cause any defects to the baby? People are saying this gel contains retinol, but the doctor suggested it. Will this cause any problem to the baby?” If you want, I can also explain whether that gel is generally considered safe in pregnancy
