I have a skin rash and was using clobetasol cream before i found out im pregnant. Now im worried if i should continue or stop. im 14 weeks, will check with doc but wanted to hear if anyone used it.
With two babies inside, my skin stretched like crazy and itched, but clobetasol is a strong steroid, so please avoid self-prescribing. Ask your doctor for a safe alternative so you don't end up scratching like a bear!
Please don't use clobetasol on your own, it is a high-potency steroid cream. It is always better to be safe and ask your gynac first. They can suggest a milder, pregnancy-safe cream for your skin.
In this 3rd trimester, my skin feels like sandpaper, but my doctor said a big no to strong steroid creams like clobetasol. I am just surviving on oceans of coconut oil right now! Do ask your gynac before using it.
Beta, strong chemical creams should be avoided when you are pregnant. For skin itching or rashes, applying natural coconut oil or aloe vera gel is much safer. Always ask your doctor before using such medical ointments.
I had some skin rashes too, but my doctor told me to avoid strong steroid creams like clobetasol. They prescribed a much milder moisturizer instead. It is best to stick to your doctor's advice on this.
I recently delivered and had severe skin itching during my pregnancy. My doctor strictly advised against using strong creams like clobetasol without a prescription. Please consult your gynac or dermatologist before applying it.
Because of my PCOS, I was always extra careful about what went into my body during pregnancy. Clobetasol is quite strong, so I wouldn't recommend using it unless your doctor has specifically approved it. Better to be cautious.
