Hi Doctor, I am a feeding mother of a 8 months old baby. I had few skin tags, as some body said I applied crushed garlic to it. Immediately next day skin became dark and few days later that black skin came off and it became a little white kind of patchy skin. I consulted dermatologist today, he prescribed me TECUM (Tacrolimus ointment. But I forgot to mention him that I am a feeding mother. Now I checked the ointment details which it is mentioned like feeding mothers should not use this ointment as it excretes in milk. Kindly suggest me whether I can use this ointment or not else please suggest me a feeding safe ointment.
