Is It Safe To Use Isopropyl Alcohol For Pimples During Pregnancy?
Hi, I am 5 weeks pregnant and have held a cotton ball soaked with isopropyl alcohol 91 % on a few pimples on my chin. I have done this for a total of 20 minutes over the course of a few days, and have inevitably inhaled the fumes while doing so. Other times I have used alcohol was briefly to disinfect sites for hormones injections. Have I caused any permanent damage (physical & mental) to the growing fetus by doing so? Thanks

Hi..the amount you used is very less & amount absorbed in your body is lesser. So don't worry about its effects on your baby's health. Thanks.
