Patient's question:

During pregnancy, it is always particularly uncomfortable, and morning sickness is also very severe. What are the hazards of using salicylic acid shower gel for pregnant women?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, many skincare products now contain salicylic acid, which is not very harmful to the body. However, women should be cautious when using cosmetics during pregnancy. Currently, it is recommended that you avoid using them and opt for gentler skincare products, such as those for infants.
