A member asked:
Is my pregnancy safe even though i took a topical solution of retinoic acid for my acne in my 1st week?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Most likely: Of course there is worry about using retinoic acid in pregnancy and one can never really know. However, the risk to the baby is exceedingly small if used for such a short time, even in the 1st week.
