Title: Worried, had bath without washing oestrogel off
Post by: Dandelion on April 27, 2020, 05:19:28 PM

Hi
I don't own a shower so I use the bath.
It says to apply oestrogel with clean skin.

I don't have a shower, I had a bath early this afternoon, and I forgot to wash the oestrogel off which I applied last night.
This means that some of the gel will have gone to my breasts, in m vagina, in my eyes as I washed my hair in the bath.
The patient information leaflet says to keep gel away from genital areas and breasts.
Now I am worried.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

Dandelion. Dont worry. The advice is to not apply the gel to breasts .  You could've say gone swimming this afternoon (if we were able) so most of the residue would have gone by then from last  night anyway and even if not it's certainly not going to cause any harm just the once. Xx

No need to worry as the gel goes into your skin so it won't have washed off. I have baths every day without washing the area first x
