Common Questions and Answers about Metrogel use in pregnancy

metrogel

Avatar f tn s finally clearing up, but my entire face was scratched up today, including the area I typically treat with metrogel. Is the metrogel safe to use on fresh scratches and sores to continue treatment. If so, would it be good to also put the metrogel on my entire face to help with all the scratch marks?
Avatar f tn Quite annoying. I am hoping that continued use with this metrogel is going to work significantly over a months use. I read it takes one-two months for the metrogel to really work when it comes to the periocular dermatitis under the eye. Not sure if thats true.
Avatar f tn I'll be 20 weeks Monday and my doctor also prescribed me Metronidazole Gel. I'm gonna take the second round tonight. I'd rather take it than not and experience the complications of having bv in the second trimester. I googled it first and it said bv untreated can cause premature rupture of membranes, preterm labor, and uterus infection. Just don't insert it all the way, as I do. My doctor said only about an inch.
Avatar f tn I have seen improvement but am still not 100 percent clear, about 98 percent clear I would say. How long do I need to continue to use the metrogel to keep the dermatitis away for good? 2 months? Not sure how long I should use it. Also, I was on doxycycline however it upsets my stomach (with or without food) so I have to call my doctor on monday to try a different antibiotic. Anything you reccomend as far as an antibiotic?

Avatar f tn I'm 9 weeks now with severe pregnancy acne on my cheeks n chin. My dermatologist put on Finacea 15% gel and Metrogel 1% both of.which are more than $200 each a tube. Were you guys prescribed anything else that's pregnancy safe by your derm?
Avatar m tn The last time I used was probably in May. I plan to use it in October again once. Can I do that?
Avatar f tn Its a prescription, so if they won't just call it in, which they usually don't because even though you no they want to make sure. You will probably have to be seen.
Avatar n tn I have been treated in the past with dry ice treatmtents. Recently I have been prescribed Minocin, and Metrogel. The metrogel seems to burn my skin. Does laser work for Rosacea? It is $1,800 for the treatment. I am 54 years old and recently had my thyroid removed due to cancer. Could my Synthroid meds be aggravating this condition. Could these blisters be facial herpes, shingles. I have had this for about 6 months. I can't get into a dermatologist until September. Help!
Avatar m tn Just started my period but have 2 more days of metronidazole. I only have tampons and I can't wear pads during certain activities in my next 2 days. I know I'm not supposed to use tampons with this medication but what happens if I do?
Avatar f tn When I get out of the shower or overheated, I have a pink spot on the skin just above my upper lip, touching the lip line. It's approx. 2 cm long by 1/4th cm high. There's also a tingling sensation at times. The skin there looks slightly different but I'm 62 and have had age spots burned off in my hairline, etc. I am female, never smoked, don't drink and have never had a cold sore or tested positive for HPV. I do not sunbathe but grew up in the south.
Avatar m tn Hello, Bacterial vaginosis is the most common cause of abnormal vaginal odor and discharge. It is caused by a change in the type of bacteria found in the vagina. The exact cause for the change in type of bacteria is still not known, but it is can be due to IUD’s,multiple sex partners or having intercourse with a new partner. In addition to unpleasant "fishy" vaginal odor, thin white or yellowish discharge from vagina may also be present.

She has healed from that but wonders if there are any prolonged affects of a problem like that. Lastly, she was on a steroid (diprolene) for years for the face (lupus). After the bad burns from the Metrogel, and it healed the dermatologist took her off of the steroid cold turkey and said to just use certain creams until the breakouts from the steroid went away.
1415174 tn?1453243103 t yet known as to whether or not it was caused by steroid use or allergy. I am using Metrogel and he wanted me to use Oracea pills as well but I may be allergy to Tetracycline so I'm just using the Metrogel 1% topical. It is too soon to know if it is working but it seems to be. Does Rosacea cause itching usually? Is the peri-oral dermatitis a broad term that can include rosacea? I wanted to thank you for urging me to see a dermatologist. I think it is good that I did.
Avatar f tn Has anyone else had this issue early in their pregnancy? If so, were you prescribed the standard 5 day metrogel treatment or something else? I really want to wait a few more days so my bf and I can go together and see our little peanut for the first time together (he doesn't get off work in time for the clinic hours). Will I be okay waiting a few more days or should I go right away?
Avatar f tn m asking because I have recurrent bacterial vaginosis infections - i have tried metrogel, flagyll tindamax, clindesse, i have it again.. I bought plain yogurt and mixed it with acidophillous powder and inserting it using a metrogel applicator at night, I always wear a liner because of bv anyway, but there is a LOT of discharge. Am I doing this right? has anyone else had good results with this method? how long should it take for symptoms to go away.
Avatar m tn Variations included antibotic solution in morning and then on alternate evenings use Metrogel and Sodium product. Use Elidel only when scaling or peeling. Later at times, I'd simply mix the drugs on my palm like an artists palette with a dab of metrogel, a little Sodum and Elidel optional. Mix it with your finger and apply all at once. Sometimes once a day, sometimes twice.

Avatar f tn m hoping I can take the valtrex for a couple days, get less sore then try the metrogel( for bv)... Idk.. 2 weeks a ago found out I was pregnant. Is the pregnancy the reasoning had an outbreak? I've been with my boyfriend for 7months. I was ready to go off on him but then the doctor told me I could have had it for years . So now I'm acres to even tell him b I could have had I all along. Another question I have is will the pregnancy make me have breakout more often?
Avatar f tn It wouldn't particularly hurt to re-treat the yeast, once you finish the full run of the metro gel.
Avatar f tn t know what to do any more because, I have a foul vaginal odor that is affecting my life in a major way.
7757724 tn?1396279586 You have to remove the gel that's in your vagina before inserting a new dose. Just use water while you shower. The gel is antibacterial so you are not contaminating your Vagina in any way.
Avatar f tn Can I use metrodizole gel for bv and use monistat creme for yeast infection at the same time.? One during day and 1 at night? Or both at night? I know I have both I just don't know if I can insert both into vagina at same time or once in morning and other at night?
Avatar f tn t remember how old I was. Secondly, do you use a skin toner ? If do, what do you use ? Do you use a skin moisturizer ? If so, what do you use ? The fact that you say your face feels like it is burning makes me think allergic skin reaction. Do you use a sunscreen product ? If so, what do you use ? What shampoo do you use ? Do you use bath soap or shower gel ? If you answer these questions I may be able to make some suggestions. Also do you wear make up ?
Avatar f tn Hi. I'm almost 26 weeks pregnant I've had some type of bacterial infection for a couple weeks now. The Dr didn't say what kind exactly but probably bacterial vaginosis or something of the sort. My question is I tried metrogel twice as he said and it has not gone away. They aren't open until Monday should I go to the emergency room or wait until they can see me when I call Monday afternoon?
1415174 tn?1453243103 My triggers are hot temperature and not sure what else. I am allergic to Metrogel. I have Metrocream. I tested it on my arm and then face on the chin and didn't blow up like I did with Metrogel. But I also don't like the idea of having to use a low dose antibiotic and the side effects are not so good at least in the package insert. Is there anything else I can do? I don't really put much cream on my face except when I use the Finacea. I don't like the feeling of goo on my face.
Avatar f tn t use Metrogel. So my doctor has now prescribed Cipro. But how would either one help with the vaginosis? And as for the bladder infection, couldn't I just take one because they both treat UTIs?
