Q: should a couple thats not trying to conceive but open to conception cease use of topical 0.25% tretinoin?

: The drugs in simple skin creams/ointments/lotions do not penetrate the skin deeply enough to enter your blood. Their effect is localized to the area of application. Only drugs that enter the blood can have an effect on a fetus.
