Suggestions made at e-lactancia are done by APILAM team of health professionals, and are based on updated scientific publications. It is not intended to replace the relationship you have with your doctor but to compound it. The pharmaceutical industry contraindicates breastfeeding, mistakenly and without scientific reasons, in most of the drug data sheets.
Your contribution is essential for this service to continue to exist. We need the generosity of people like you who believe in the benefits of breastfeeding.
Thank you for helping to protect and promote breastfeeding.

At the date of last update we found no published data on its excretion in breast milk.
The small dose and low plasma absorption of most topical dermatological preparations make passage of significant amounts into breast milk unlikely.
Since glycolic acid is unlikely to be appreciably absorbed through the skin into the systemic circulation and may be excreted in breast milk, it is considered safe for use during breastfeeding. (Ly 2023, Trivedi 2017, Lee 2013, Jiang 1998)
Highly irritating. Do not apply to the breast to prevent ingestion by the infant; if necessary, apply after a feeding and clean thoroughly with water before the next feeding.
