Is it safe to use dr.scholl's freeze away wart remover on a skin tag while pregnant? i'm 26 wks
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Wart rx in pregnancy: Dr Scholl's wart therapy has some chemicals in it which could absorb into the skin and reach your baby in trace amounts. That said, the risks are astronomically low that a birth defect would result. The greatest risk in pregnancy is the first trimester when the baby is forming. If you're worried see a dermatologist for cryotherapy.
