Hello,
As per your clinical history is concerned, the drug has no relation to your pregnancy at all. So, please follow like this:
Discuss with your Doctor about [calcineurin inhibitors] and a course of oral antibiotics along with medication you are taking right now.
Do follow lifestyle modifications like this:
1) Try to identify and avoid triggers that worsen the inflammation. Reduce your exposure to your unique triggers.
2) Take shorter baths or showers. Limit your baths and showers to 10 to 15 minutes. And use warm, rather than hot, water. Bath oil also may be helpful.
3) Use only gentle soaps. Choose mild soaps that clean without removing too many natural oils. Deodorant and antibacterial soaps may be more drying to your skin. Use soap only on your face, underarms, genital areas, hands, and feet.
4) Dry yourself carefully. After bathing, brush your skin rapidly with the palms of your hands, or gently pat your skin dry with a soft towel and apply moisturizer.
5) Moisturize your skin at least twice a day. Thicker moisturizers work best such as [Nutraderm and Eucerin].
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Uday Nath Sahoo
