Does it? I've been using it since I started with an itchy scalp at about 25w. I asked the midwife and she said it was fine as long as it was only my scalp that was itchy.

Blimey, on what possible grounds could it be unsafe?

If it helps then I changed to polytar plus which is fine to use when pregnant, it depends on the problem though. I had a flaky itchy scalp and the polytar was fine.

I was being very cautious though! I am sure T gel is fine, but when I read the warnings I over thought it a bit and panicked!

I have a horrid patch of scalp psoriasis. Been using coconut oil on overnight which works for a few days and then it slowly comes back over the course of a week or so. Hoping T-gel will keep it more at bay.
