While pregnant, can I safely use my cortisone cream for my uncontrollable eczema flare-ups, without harming the baby?

Yes, it is generally safe to use corticosteroid creams during pregnancy, especially those with low to moderate strength. However, if a stronger cream is needed, it should be applied thinly and only to affected areas. Avoid applying it to sensitive areas like eyelids, genitals, and skin folds, as they can absorb more of the cream. It is important to use the cream for a defined period during eczema flare-ups. If you have any further questions, feel free to reach out for more information.
