It's me again I have so many
questions since joining this site.. so
here's another! I am currently using a
prescription cream right now for my excema
on my hands. Does this count as
"antibiotics" and would this increase the
chance of pregnancy as I'm taking bc?

I'm not sure! It's "Dermatop":
Prednicarbate 0.1% cream. You can only get
it by prescription though.. does that
matter?

I'd phone a doctor an ask. I don't think
dermatological antibiotics affect birth
control.

I'm pretty sure only oral antibiotics
affect birth control effectiveness.

Ya I'm not sure, I read on a site that:
"Topical antibiotics kill bacteria that
are on the skin. Oral antibiotics kill
bacteria in the skin pores"
So that might not affect bc? I'll keep
reading!
