Does the Emei Cream have any effect on the fetus?

Patient's question:

Hello! I recently found out that I'm pregnant, about a month along. However, during this period, I've had some itching in my wrist and have been using a topical cream called "Pityriasis Alba" for a while. I'm not sure if it has had any effect on the fetus in my stomach! Please ask if this fetus can still be kept. Please reply! Urgent

Doctor's answer:

External medications are considered to have minimal impact on the fetus. It is recommended to relax and wait for observation while ensuring regular prenatal check-ups. During the early stages of pregnancy, it is advisable to maintain a calm mood, consume light and easily digestible foods, wear loose clothing, and get sufficient sleep. Oral folic acid tablets should be taken within the first three months of pregnancy. In your case, there is no need to worry too much, as Daipiting ointment is an external medication that is unlikely to cause significant harm to the fetus. However, it is essential to avoid using any medications randomly during pregnancy.
