Does Applying Atopic Cream On Fingers During Pregnancy Affect The Pregnancy?

Hello, I have recently found out I am pregnant via hCG test at home ( I believe about 3 - 4 weeks). I have been using betnovate 1/2 for atopic eczema on my fingers - I do not know what causes it, and I was onto the second repeat of betnovate, although the eczema still has not cleared. As soon as I found out I was pregnant, I stopped using the cream, although I am worried the damage might already be done. Could you please advise as to my next course of action. Thank you for your help with this,

Kind regards.

( I intend to visit my GP when I get home in 4 weeks - would you suggest I see another GP at the earliest date?) Thank you.

Local application of betnovate creame wont affect your pregnancy but if avoidable its better not to take. oral tablets should not be taken in pregnancy.
