Yes: A general rule you can follow is as follows. Only the medicines that enter your blood at levels they reach the fetus can affect them. The lotions/creams/ointments like those mentioned do not and are safe through pregnancy.

It's fine: A little bit of topical steroid is not going to harm anyone or anything. You don't absorb enough into your system to even0 make a tiny blip in your systemic levels - that's the beauty of being able to put it on topically!
