Is it safe to put cortisone cream (betaderm 0.1%) on an eczema patch if I am pregnant?

It is safe to apply cortisone cream on a patch of eczema while pregnant, but it is recommended to only use it for one day if the lesion is not too large. Apply the cream twice on that day and repeat if necessary once in the same week. If it does not work, consult a doctor for a milder cortisone cream.
