Treating verracae and coldsores in pregnancy

by Christine Hill

question

I have two queries which I would reallyappreciate a response to, please. I am currently 11 weeks pregnant. Firstly I have an aggressive verrucae & would like to know if it is safe to treat it topically with neat tea tree oil. Also I am developing a cold sore on my top lip and would like to know if it is safe to treat it with Zovirax, or tea tree oil if the former is not advisable. Your response would put my mind at rest! Thank you.



answer

Zovirax cream for your coldsore and tea tree oil for your verruca are both OK to administer when you are pregnant. I hope both improve soon! Christine Hill.
