I was recently prescribed triamcinolone acetonide 0.1% for eczema I have on my forearm, the prescription says to apply topically twice a day for 2 weeks. I am currently breastfeeding my 7 month old and just want to confirm this is safe to use. My dermatologist also recommended covering the area after applying the topical to avoid getting it on my daughter.
