Shirley:  In your response to Teresa about the alpha hydroxy acids, you
stated that you didn't think that they would be for use on a lactating
nipple, and I would agree based on the information you provide.  However,
I thought that the question was about its use elsewhere on the body.  I
haven't found anything about the potential for absorption and subsequent
entry into human milk (and I doubt that anyone has actually studied
this - perhaps Dr. Hale has information on this question).  However, it
seems that these agents are topical and unlikely to get absorbed in
significant quantities.  Alicia.  [log in to unmask]
