handling steriod creams?

[monkeymoma]

DS has eczema, and is a wriggley little monkey so I always end up with some smeared on me (I don't apply it with my fingers, I use cotton pads, but then wressling him into his jammies it gets rubbed all over me!)

should I leave it for the days when DH is home to put him to bed?

I am using a steroid cream at the moment prescribed by doctor (31 weeks)! The amounts on your hands are going to be so minimal its not worth worrying about, just give your hands a wash if you are worried.

thanks MyMelody!
