Skin Creams when Breasfeeding

Skin Creams when Breasfeeding

I am currently breastfeeding and have a few questions about skin creams..
I have dark spots on my legs and arms. I got them when I was still pregnant.
It's been months now and the spots did not disappear. These spots look like bruises..
I acquired some skin creams but don't now if these are safe when breastfeeding..

Here are the list of creams I want to inquire:
1. Green Peeling Oil contains glycolic acid, lactic acid,malic acid, salic acid, salicylic acid, citic acid
2. Arbutin Cream 3%
3. Glycolic Cream 10%
4. Medicated Astringent contains Epilobium Angustifolium extract, Arbutin, Tocopheryl acetate (vitamin E)

Hope you can help me!

Hmmm, anything containing acid...ouch!  No...I'm sure they're fine to use, ask your pharmacist or LC to be sure.  With each of my pregnancies I noticed changes in my skin...I developed several dark moles and also developed tons of little tiny skin tags, perfectly normal and harmless...I'd be willing to bet, your skin will remain like it is...you can thank those lovely hormones for it!

ask your dr, pharmacist, or OB to be sure. A pharmacist should be able to help you even if you didn't purchase the product in their store. You can even call your local pharmacist.
