Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
I am 13 weeks pregnant and have been using a small amount of topical gel ocassionally in a few troubled areas. I have read that topical creams can cause birth defects, and now I am scared. Should I be concerned for my baby? Please help.
Thank you.
Hi,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
I have read the query, and I can understand your concern.
Please do not worry. You should consult a gynecologist and get your ultrasonography test done to rule out birth defects. If everything is fine, do not worry, and continue your pregnancy journey.
I hope this will help you.
Thank you.
