I read your query and I understand your concerns.
Following is my reply:
1. this cream contains active ingredient called clobetasol.
2. this drug is not indicated in pregnancy and not used oreferable.
3. long term use leads to decreased fetal growth.
4. i prefer you stop using this cream and go for alternative cream as per your dermatologist.
Let me know if you have any more doubts.
