A member asked:

Im 7 weeks pregnant and i was using triamcinolone acetonide cream 5% on my face but i stoped because i found out online that its dangerous so i wanna make sure everything okay ?

Basics: As a rule most creams/lotions applied to the skin surface do no penetrate the skin deep enough for their meds to enter the blood. This includes the cream you mentioned. To affect a fetus medications must enter the blood that would then enter the placenta.
