Suggest Safe Antiseptic Lotions That Can Be Used During Pregnancy
I am 4 months pregnant and having had big toe nail removed it needs to be cleaned, it smells a bit and doesn t look to be healing at all. I live in the Netherlands for now and the doctor said the only thing I can use is water. Is there any safe antiseptic lotions that can be used whilst pregnant?
