Hello. I'm 31 weeks pregnant. I've developed white patches under both breast from 3rd month. I went to dermatologist n they told it's vitiligo.. they have given topical steroid momex ointment for daily night application for 3 weeks. Is it safe during pregnancy to apply and will it have any side effects on the fetus
