Hey Sarah,

I think it depends on the strength of the cream. I had to use some cream with cortisone in it during my PG and was able to use one that was 1.0% (was called Sigmacort 1.0% and was available over the counter). Mind you, it wasn't for eczema, but something else, but cortisone is the ingredient in it. I bought the cream after consulting with my GP and was told that it was safe to use that, but nothing stronger.

HTH!
