Answer by DrLact: About Tar, coal usage in lactation
Tar, coal applied topically to maternal skin can result in pyrene absorption by the infant, probably by skin-to-skin or skin-to-mouth contact with the mother. Because of the potential toxicity of Tar, coal to the breastfed infant, alternate drugs are preferred.[1] If a Tar, coal product is used, it would be prudent to treat the smallest area of skin possible. It is particularly important to ensure that the infant's skin does not come into direct contact with the areas of skin that have been treated.
