I have had 'acne' like bumps on my chin for the last two years and my doctor prescribed "MetroGel" which I put a small amount on each time I have a new breakout. I recently found out that I am pregnant (6 weeks). Can I still use this medication topically? Or do I now have to have hideous red bumps all over my chin. It's not 'acne', it doesn't ever get a white head- it's just an enlarged red bump beneath the skin.

Thank You.
