Hi Divya Trevinoin and hydroquinone are dangerous in pregnancy and should never be taken. You should tell your skin doctor when starting treatment, about planning pregnancy. That?s assuming it was prescribed by skin doctor and not over the counter. You need to decide the priority. If acne needs priority correction, use the medicine but also use contraception to avoid pregnancy. If pregnancy is priority, ignore the acne, for now. You can treat it later.
