Anti-itch Cream During Pregnancy

Hi mommies, I am 13 weeks pregnant and have developed these itching red-bump on my belly. Has any one of you hAve this during pregnancy? if yes, please share your remedies. Is it safe to use an anti-itch cream that contain 1% hydrocortisone? If I could I would like to avoid using the cream but the itch is getting unbearable today. I will be seeing my OB this week and will ask her if she has any recommendation. Thanks a bunch!

Hydrocortisone Cream and 6 Month Olds Face

My ped. put my son on perscription Hydrocortisone cream a few weeks ago for red spots, dry spots on his face. I have had skin issues all my life and have always been told not to use HC for a long period of time. I try to not use the cream all the time, so I apply when he has the spots and when they go away I stop, BUT they come back a day or two later. Should I stop using this and find something else, call the doctor? Or just use it?? Any suggestions?
