Question

I am a breastfeeding mother and i want to know if it is safe to use Sulforon? Is Sulforon safe for nursing mother and child? Does Sulforon extracts into breast milk? Does Sulforon has any long term or short term side effects on infants? Can Sulforon influence milk supply or can Sulforon decrease milk supply in lactating mothers?

Answer by DrLact: About Sulforon usage in lactation

Sulforon 5% to 10% in a petrolatum base is safe for topical use in children, including infants under 2 months of age.[1] This makes it a useful alternative to organic insecticides for treating scabies in nursing mothers; however, the petrolatum base makes undesirable for use on the breast.
