I had really bad acne before and was on isotretinoin, had to stop when i found out i was pregnant. Now im thinking after delivery can i start it again, especially if im planning to breastfeed. Will ask my doc also but wanted to know if anyone has done this.
Oh god, the post-pregnancy acne is real, feels like we are teenagers again! You can probably use it now but if you are breastfeeding please wait or ask your doc, don't want the baby drinking acne medicine with milk haha!
It is highly effective but isotretinoin has serious side effects, especially if you are breastfeeding. It's strictly a prescription drug, so please check with your dermatologist and gynac before starting it. They will guide you best based on your feeding schedule.
Oh god, I am in my 7th month and my face has broken out so badly, I was also thinking of this! Can we really use it right after delivery? Let me know what your doctor says, I am so tired of these pimples.
Haan na, pregnancy ke baad skin gets so weird. Actually isotretinoin is quite strong so consult your gynac first. Agar breastfeed kar rahe ho toh mostly doc mana karenge.
After my baby was born, I felt so conscious of my postpartum skin and wanted to start my acne treatment immediately. But when I asked my doctor, she told me to wait since I was feeding. It was hard to accept but baby's health comes first, do check with your doc!
