I have allergic rash allover the body (especially on the breasts). i am breastfeeding. is a cortison containing balm ok?

Cream: Yes, but you do not say which steroid you are using, some are very potent and should not be use on the nipples. You should see an allergist to determine what kind of rash you have and see if the cream is the appropiriate treatment for it.
