What to know or do
Bring the exact label, ingredients, preparation method or situation for “Dental pain, swelling or suspected infection” when asking for advice. Ask a pharmacist, dermatologist or doctor about the exact acne, eczema, psoriasis or skin-lightening product you use.
What changes the answer
- The exact ingredient, procedure, body area, amount and frequency
- Whether treatment is medically needed or can reasonably be postponed
- Skin damage, infection, fumes, heat, radiation and medicines used with the procedure

When to get individual help
Check the exact item or situation with a doctor, midwife, pharmacist or relevant clinician; the name of a broad category is not enough for a personal decision.
