Is it safe to use topical mineral oil (baby oil), while pregnant? i use it after waxing to remove wax.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Should be safe: Topical mineral oil should be safe during pregnancy provided no infections, sores or rashes are present. Mineral oil also lubricates the vagina when the baby is crowning!
