Hi there, i am 9 weeks pregnant and i used germolene on my toe, as well as savlon. i read online that i should have consulted my doctor first. will everything be fine?

Not concerning: Both contain chlorhexadine which is an antiseptic we use quite frequently to clean skin prior to surgical procedures, even c sections. No risk to your child by putting this on your toe. Best of luck with your pregnancy and congratulations. Dr R
