Pregnant, Severe Itching On Heels. Used Fucibet Cream For Itching. Have I Caused Harm To My Baby?
I used an old tube of Fucibet cream (2004) to try to stop severe itching that I was suffering on one of my heels. I only applied the cream a couple of times and then stopped as it was not relieving the symptoms. I have now found out that I should not have used this cream as I am 22 weeks pregnant! I did not realise that this cream could be absorbed into my system. Have I put my baby at risk?

we usually dont recommend any medications to pregnant women unless absolutely needed however in your case you already passed the 1 st trimester which is the most important time for baby development plus the fact that yes it could be absorbed systematically but the absorption is so little that should not pose a risk on your baby... you and your baby should be fine do not worry
