Using Trimovate Cream 2 Weeks Before Surgery?

I'm having breast augmentation/enlargement in two weeks time. Trimovate consists of clobetasone butyrate, calcium oxytetracycline and nystatin. I'm using it for an unknown discomfort in my nether regions. (Itching, soreness and slight inflammation) it's going away. I've been instructed to use this twice a day for a week. This leaves me with a week until surgery without having used the cream, does my PS need to know about this? Is it something that will delay surgery or need to be pushed back?
