I've been prescribed Xerina and Kojivit ultra creams for my legs, but I'm currently breastfeeding. I'm really concerned about whether these creams are safe to use. Can you give me some guidance on this?

When considering the use of topical creams like Xerina and Kojivit Ultra during breastfeeding, it's important to understand their ingredients and safety profiles.

  1. Xerina Cream: Contains urea and lactic acid, generally safe for topical use with minimal systemic absorption.

  2. Kojivit Ultra Cream: Contains kojic acid and vitamin C derivatives, typically safe for limited topical application.

Recommendations:

  • Use only on legs, avoiding the breast area.
  • Apply a thin layer, avoiding broken or irritated skin.
  • Monitor for skin reactions.

Consult your healthcare provider if you have concerns or if prescribed for a specific condition to ensure safety for you and your baby.
