Cortizone-10 : Cortizone-10 is a pregnancy category c medication which means that not enough research has been done to know how safe this medication is when used during pregnancy. This doesn't mean you absolutely cannot use it - what it means is that you should call your ob/gyne to discuss the pros and cons of using cortizone-10 for your rash.
