It is a difficult situation. You need to consult your treating dermatologist- as a couple and discuss your family planning options. Generally drugs stay in the body for few days to months after stopping. That is called wash -off period. It varies for each drugs. Depending on wash off period of Scapho -as per drug information, you will be advised by your dermatologist about planning your baby.
