Can I use Elidel cream and Benzagel gel (for acne) while pregnant?

Yes, you can use Elidel cream and Benzagel gel for acne during pregnancy. Elidel cream has a low risk of causing fetal malformations because it is not highly absorbed into the bloodstream. It is recommended to use Elidel cream if other first-line treatments do not work and only on a small area of the skin. Benzagel gel is also safe to use during pregnancy and is actually the preferred treatment for acne in pregnant women. Both products have minimal systemic absorption, making them safe options for use during pregnancy.
