Face is full with spot even on neck and head and back. I had pimples before but this is worst. So, after trying home remedy went to skin specialist. I have not consulted with my gyno yet.as appointment is after 3 weeks. I am using Neutrogena oil free face wash. Dermatologist prescribed me- 1.Papulex cream 15gm 2. glycol -6 cream 3. clingard gel 4. Scalp lotion I am using it from a week. Skin texture got better. I am not experiencing any irritation, but I am very much scared about will it affect the baby, as I read about some birth defect due to some creams. My queries are- 1. is this medicine safe during pregnancy 2. What are symptoms if not suited to baby or me. 3. What are side effects of medicine to baby 4.
