Hi Wobbles!
Yes, it definately has to do with Vitamin A!!! I spoke to my doctors office this morning, and they say that it isn't really anything to worry about.......just like you said because I stopped taking it for a period of time and just took it for a few days and because it is a topical, she said not to worry about it. She did mention another form of it if taken orally, and if I were taking birth control pills at the same time (which I wasn't) then she would be concerned! Wheeeeeew!!! I feel a lot better!!! I really just never knew anything about acne medicines and I've already been through 2 pregnancies!!! I guess you learn something new with each pregnancy!!! Thank goodness I was lazy about picking up that prescription!!!

That's good it is just a topical.

The acne medication Accutane is can do serious damage to a fetus. When I took it I had to do pregnancy tests with my blood screenings each visit. They did strongly encourage anyone taking it to be on birth control but at the time "no sex" was a good enough BC for me!

If it is roaccataine that you were taking, they may want to monitor you more cause it can cause abnormalities. When I was on that, I was on it for 6 months and i had to sign some stuff to state that I wouldn't get pregnant for 3 months after taking it and stuff. Don't worry though, no cause to worry if you don't know something is wrong, but do express your concerns. Wishing you luck
