Patient's question:
I have acne on my face. I went to a traditional Chinese medicine doctor and they prescribed some medication for me. However, it seems that the liquid medicine contains alcohol. I also have two other creams and liquids whose ingredients are unknown, and I don't know if using them will affect my baby.Medical history and effectiveness: None, none, none.
Expected help: Does applying alcohol-containing liquid medicine, as well as other creams and liquids with unknown ingredients, during breastfeeding have any effect on the baby?
Doctor's answer:
Medical Analysis: Hello, medical alcohol is ethanol, which is non-toxic and has no side effects. As long as you don't mistakenly use industrial alcohol, it's fine.Medical Advice: Although ethanol is volatile, it will not affect the baby as long as the concentration is not too high. If the concentration is too high, it may cause a drunken-like reaction, but it will resolve on its own. Alcohol is harmful to the body if inhaled in large amounts, especially for children. It is recommended to minimize exposure as much as possible. Wishing your baby healthy growth!
