A member asked:
Is it safe to use tretinoin 0.1% topical cream whilst on combined contraceptive pill (yasmin/detrine)? this pill has estrogen?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
A general rule you can go by is topical creams and ointments do not penetrate the skin deep enough to enter the blood. Since they don't, they won't interfere with oral or injected meds you are prescribed.
