Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have swallowed a small quantity of acne cream which is not showing you any symptoms. Need not to worry about it. You simple have contact with that that too for a fraction of second. It it stills gives you any symptoms then you should visit dentist and consult. You should go for thorough examination and start treatment after proper prescription. Drink plenty of fluids. I donot think it is harmful for you.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
