Peri-oral dermatitis:was on the antibiotic tetracycline.i'm 15 weeks pregnant- broke out again.is there anything safe for me to take besides creams?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: When dealing with the subject of medications and pregnancy the benefit of therapy should clearly outweigh the risk of taking a medication. Ask your physician if your perioral dermatitis is severe enough to meet this standard.
