Based on the evidence that are currently available, the use of low- to medium-potency topical glucocorticoid is not found to raise the risk of adverse effects for the mother and the baby, such as preterm delivery, birth defects, and low birth weight.[25][26] However, since the correlation between long-term use of potent topical glucocorticoid in pregnant women and low birth weight cannot be neglected, pregnant women who require topical glucocorticoids should be administered with low- or medium-potency agents instead of potent or superpotent ones. If potent or superpotent topical glucocorticids are necessary in pregnant women, they should only be administered for a short period of time, the dose used should also be minimised, and growth of the baby should be closely monitored.[25][26]
