Question
I am a breastfeeding mother and i want to know if it is safe to use Proactiv? Is Proactiv safe for nursing mother and child? Does Proactiv extracts into breast milk? Does Proactiv has any long term or short term side effects on infants? Can Proactiv influence milk supply or can Proactiv decrease milk supply in lactating mothers?
Answer by DrLact: About Proactiv usage in lactation
Proactiv 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.
