On the safety of using glycolic acid in late pregnancy
There is a current issue that concerns whether it is safe to use glycolic acid in late pregnancy. The state of pregnancy is related to the health of the mother and fetus, and the use of medicinal substances should not be careless.

Glycolic acid is common in daily skin care products. However, in late pregnancy, how is its safety? When explored in detail.

In late pregnancy, the fetus develops gradually and matures, but the mother's physiology also has many changes. The metabolism and absorption function of the skin may be abnormal. Glycolic acid has the ability to exfoliate and promote skin metabolism. However, in late pregnancy, the mother's skin may have different tolerance to it.

Some studies have said that if an appropriate amount of glycolic acid is used externally in late pregnancy, it may have no significant adverse effects on the fetus. Due to external use, the percutaneous absorption of glycolic acid is limited, and it enters the systemic circulation and affects the fetus. However, it should not be careless. If used too much, or the skin is damaged, its absorption may increase, and then there is a latent risk.

And individuals have different reactions to glycolic acid. Or after maternal use, the skin appears allergic and irritating, such as redness, itching, tingling, etc. This not only affects the comfort of the mother, but if the allergy is serious, or indirectly affects the fetus.

In summary, the use of glycolic acid in late pregnancy requires caution. If necessary, consult a doctor first. According to the specific conditions of the mother, such as pregnancy signs, skin characteristics, etc., the doctor weighs the pros and cons and makes reasonable suggestions. Do not use it without authorization, so as not to endanger the health of the mother and fetus.
