Exposure to isotretinoin causes skin and limb defects in fetus when exposed during early pregnancy as it is the time when organs are formed. So it is a huge risk.

Hello.. Its a very tricky situation.. The fact is that we don’t have exact data regarding what percentage of babies will be affected and what will be the degree of anomalies.. However first trimester exposure of isotretinoin may be associated with anomalies risk in upto 30% of cases .. By inhibiting neural crest cell migration during embryogenesis they result in cranial neural crest defect termed retinoic acid embryopathy..
