The complex implications of dermatoses specifically associated with pregnancy
Journal Title: Revista de Medicină Militară - Year 2019, Vol 0, Issue 1
Abstract
Pregnancy-specific dermatoses are a heterogeneous group of inflammatory dermatoses associated exclusively with pregnancy. Although these dermatoses are rare, it raises problems in medical practice because of their appearance, being difficult to diagnose, treat and the possibility of the fetus being affected. Pemphigoid Gestationis (PG) is a rare, autoimmune, strongly pruritic, vesiculobullous dermatosis with a strong impact on the patient. Polymorphic Eruption of Pregnancy (PEP) is a benign, self-limited inflammatory skin disorder that usually affects first pregnancy in the third trimester or immediately in the postpartum period. Other dermatoses associated with pregnancy include: Intrahepatic Cholestasis of Pregnancy (ICP), Atopic Eruption of Pregnancy (AEP) and Pruritic Folliculitis of Pregnancy (PFP). We will extensively present PG and PEP, to draw attention to the importance of correct diagnosis and the implications of treatment during pregnancy
